I blame the people who made the hammer.

They should have put a label that said "not for bashing in skulls" on there.

hehe its like the time when a lady bought coffee from McDonalds and spilled it on herself and sued McDonalds.Now they are required to have CAUTION: Cofee is hot! on the coffee cup.

Why did they parent allow a minor to have this game? Surely she won't be able to sue a company for "negligence" when it is her role as parent and guardian to ensure that her son is not open to unsuitable material.

FFS own up, you used the Playstation as a replacement babysitter and you fucked up.

How come she didn't notice this supposed growing obsession with this game before something bad happened and done something about it? Why isn't the commpany that made the claw hammer being blamed?

I hate this type of shit, makes my blood boil...

It's the Victims Mother that has proposed suing Rockstar NOT the
Offenders Mother. Sorry if there was any confusion Cheese.

I should have realised that myself, just woke up when I wrote that.

Still, she should actually then be taking the offender&#39;s mother to court not some games company. (Not criticising your post more the absurdity of the situation).

As a sidenote I just spoke to my friend and he informed me he was now downloading this game, how many other people will now be trying to get hold of this game because of the (bad) publicity? It&#39;s all just so...stupid.

video games make peopel more violent, but bad parentign has an influence too (and who is to bleame for the parents being to immature or crazy to raise kids), and so do genes, ijury and a lot of chance accidents. i think the video games makers are esier to balme, and sue than genes or unfortunate cloths in kindergarten.

There&#39;s no proof of this. In fact some psychologists say that video games can provide a safe release for pent-up agression.

Younger children are affected by games they play (or any other media), but this was a 17 year old who should be able to seperate reality and games. Sadly, I think he was a troubled individual who would have done something tragic like this anyhow.

i think the news said he ws bullieed, and jealous of his victim,, maybbe i&#39;m thinking of that other kid who killed someone recently though
