The reason it’s probably not sold is Germany is *because* it’s an M-Rated game…

“Dead Space is pretty much the goriest game i’ve ever seen.”

and not only is Dead Space a big deal because it’s pretty much EA’s first M-rated game, but it’s not even sold in Germany.

EA’s sheer greed aside, i dont see why a anti-violent videogames activist would call out EA, they dont exactly release the most gorey of stuff. Anyone know what she said exactly?

It’s almost 2009. When is EA going to own up to the fact that it IS a pig of a company?

“I like pigs. Pigs are cool. You can turn them into bacon and sausages and pork chops and stuff.”

Don’t be ridiculous, Blerk. No such single animal exists – what is this, some kind of delicious fantasy world?

“Pfeiffer made the remark in relation to the fact she can’t sue EA as it isn’t German”

She can sue them, surely? Just not in a German court. or is her problem that a US court is less likely to favour the cencorship-heavy, State-knows-best attitude she’s looking for?

I remember my German teacher at school explaining to us how schweinhund was a proper insult in Germany. A “Your mothers a syphilis infested town bike and I piss on her grave” level insult. I gained a new appreciation for the subtleties of translation that day.

Shame no-one said pig-dog instead. I like pig-dog.
