I completely understand the reasoning. He boasted about how he was going to kill these people and what methods he was going to use. It's not stupid for these retailers to pull these while their country buries the dead.
How any of you can call them stupid is utterly disgraceful and you should be ashamed. People who lost loved ones don't want to be reminded that a psycho killed their family when they see a game title he named.

There is NOTHING good about Modern Warfare. Quit lyin'.harvz said:
First they came for the FPS games and I was silent...
Then they came for WoW and I was silent...
Then they came for the obscure furry romance JRPGs and woe, for there was no-one left to speak up for me!
Just because I don't particularly enjoy current FPS games, doesn't mean this isn't a dick move.
Also he wasn't a WOW player, as is said, it was just a cover, if he was a WOW player he wouldn't have left the house with a raid on that night.
Honestly, we just need to stop using words like terrorist and 'religious extremist' and just put them all down as 'nutter', as they long stopped following any real religion or idealogy, and there'd be a lot less respect for anyone if on the news they didn't use 'terrorist' but simply stated 'There was minor collateral damage in Missouri today when a ... nutjob fucknugget blew himself up, displaying nothing but his own idiocy to the world.'
'Perhaps in the horrible case where they hurt or kill others, the term could be 'clueless waste of life' or something else, just to make sure there's ZERO glory in being a violent twunt.
I'd like to state I have sympathy for anyone who lost anyone to the actions of this lone crazy fuckwit, but I sure as hell ain't gonna label him terrorist, right wing, or anything else. I don't like the right wing bunch, but he was far beyond mere politics when he strapped the gun on.

Well that doesn't really make any sense whatsoever but If it pleases any of the victims, it was worth it.
Can you imagine the outrage if retailers banned certain books every time a mass murderer read or claimed to have been inspired by it. Books like the Bible and the Koran would never be sold at all and even if retailers claimed banning them was done out of respect to the victims of the crime it would cause riots since many would see it as a grave insult to the religious text since the retailers would be demonstrating by removing these books that they directly parted some part as they apparently encourage mass killings. Retailers didn't remove "The Catcher in the Rye" after John Lennon was shot, "The Collector" by John Fowles linked with a number of serial killers or "Rage" by Stephen King linked with a few mass school killings. Actually "Rage" is a bad example since it is no longer published. Hopefully this type of attitude towards games will fade out through the years as more and more of the worlds generations have grown up actually playing games. Comic books and movies used to have the same problem its time video games gained the same respect.

OT:No one here is making fun of the people killed (I could be wrong), we're just making fun of the retailers.... and some of the games (mostly the games).
Maybe not but no ones mentioned The Koran ,"The Catcher in the Rye", "The Collector" or "Rage" yet.(I think)ph0b0s123 said:
