Video game 'Bully' banned in Brazil

Theres nothing like free publicity to boost sales. "Never look a gift horse in the mouth" is what I always say. Having your game Branded "too violent" is definitely not a bad thing in the cutthroat gamming industry.

Not to sure about this one. It may lead kids to act out what they played or maybe it won't. This game is just a moral issue.

Side Note: Judge Flavio Rabello banned the game from being important, sold, distributed or promoted on websites and in stores in the country on Friday.

Do you mean imported?

Who cares??? Probably only 10%(if) of the gamers in Brazil pay for legitimate copies of games... Can't blame them cause it cost from 150.00 to 200.00 Reals (Brazilian money)... When a bootleg goes for 10.00 Reals.
I'm Brazilian and lived there till i was 18, and never saw people buying legitimate copies. And most of the time somehow the bootlegs are even better, with different versions of the same game... Smart people do that stuff around there(bootlegs) off course them with other countries around there.

There still the internet to promote the game,and to buy the game.

its a well known fact people get what people want no matter the law's


this is stupid, i play violent video games all the time doesnt mean i wanna go out there and do that stuff. There's at least 5 bullies per school these days. a certain perspective would see this game as anti-bully.

I always find it amusing when socialist countries ban anything that might question authority yet don't gogonzo over nudity.

You crazy man? Who doesn't like see some nudity?
People get to realize that entertainment media is not supposed to educate their Kids, Parent are the ones responsible for that... My dad Used to make me sleep early and never let me watch improper programs where nudity is involved (back in Brazil). Parent are much lazy nowadays they and want to blame anything else for they retarded kids.

Kids don't know sex... Adults do, they dont have the same vision that me and you see about sexism... And like i said before entertainment should be for everyone... Nobody is making kids watch or play what they shouldn't, parents get to take care of what their kids learn, thats all see. Lazy parent wanting to ban everybody else to do what they kids are not supposed to is just pure LAZINESS. Where is freedom? freedom for who? Parent get to start been a parent and stop with bullshit. I'm a straight edge, but i think i have to educate my kids as a parent and not the government(or you).

I haven't played this game yet, I heard about it. Now I'm going to have to rent it to see what's all the hype about it. We are a new generation and the conservatives when they see a little bit of blood or nudity in video games they trip over their own shadow, but they do take their children to see a rated R movie that has more than that or watch movies at home. If anybody has a rated X movie on the shelf, don’t expect your child not to watch it when the parents are not around. Parents need to protect their children but don’t take it out on video games but on their lack of parenting. Come on. I’m not a parent but I’ve seen and witness many arguments concerning this matter. Ban video games? Here in America it’s a freedom of speech and I’ve always defended these types of topics amongst my family; it’s up to the parents to decide what kinds of games they allow their children to play. Who buys the video games, who buys the movies? The parents do. Every parent needs to be informed and do research on games that have the T or M rating on such video games before they go out and purchase these types of games.

OMG No shaving while driving...what a shame, Thats wrong.

The aggravating factor is that it is set in school? I suppose they will be banning Harry Potter for being set in Hogwarts next.
