The Target ban will more than likely increase sales because it's put GTA into the news. I reckon Rockstar are delighted with the free publicity they're getting.

In the 1980's heavy metal bands and their canny managers and record producers in the States knew that, with the rise of the Moral Majority under Ronald Reagan's Presidential stewardship, if they pushed the Satanism angle with their releases the hue and cry from the likes of Billy Graham and the like would only drive sales upwards.





Outrage generates free publicity. It's a kind of trolling, and it WORKS.

I just don't understand what they wanted to achieve out of this. The people who made the petition clearly have never played the game and have probably just seen a gameplay video, but they've really stopped no one from buying the game and have likely only hardened video game players against their position, the people who they purport to be so concerned about. Why are people so willingly ignorant?

People like that enjoy getting offended at anything they can. They are constantly on the look out for something they can have a whinge about

Target not selling the game has nothing to do with censorship people
They obviously decided (rightly or wrongly) that their audience would prefer if the game was not sold there
