After all, this is America-where the appetite for porn and violence seems insatiable, and a lot of people get rich off of it. Illusion is best known for the controversy surrounding one of its earlier games, rapelay, that was sold on amazon. I am not interested in playing it or buying it, but I want to. I believe every game no matter how abhorrent deserves to be released. But there is a reason why I am requesting this game. And I hate it as much as you might if not more. Aside from the “gang rape” aspect of the game, the goal is to make women sex slaves without getting them pregnant-if a player fails, he must force the woman “to have an abortion or risk being thrown under a train and killed.” It gets even worse, but the descriptions “are too violent and graphic to write here.” Well, everyone knows this abhorrent game. It’s easy to see why people are outraged, said Matt Bachl in Nine MSN. Amazon and eBay have banned the sale of RapeLay, a rape simulation video game made by Japan-based company Illusion, and now New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn is urging other websites to do the same. “Anti-violence advocates are taking a stand against a video game in which players stalk and rape a mother and her two daughters,” said the Associated Press.
