Vous vous souvenez tous de Postal 2, le jeu dans lequel on pouvait s'amuser à foutre le feu aux chiens, arracher la tête des passants avec une pelle, jeter des ciseaux à la tronche des ennemis (bien que ce soit vous le méchant) etc etc.

Et bien figurez-vous que le jeu a été interdit à la vente en Nouvelle-Zélande par le chef des censeurs, suivant ainsi l'exemple Australien.

"Going postal" is American slang for someone becoming so stressed they turn into a homicidal lunatic. This is the theme of the game.

"The way the postal guy interacts with people is always with violence - either people are provoked when they see him or he provokes the people," Hastings says.

The game's creators defend it claiming the player controls the level of violence. The player can choose to hurt nobody if they wanted to.

David Walsh from the US Institute on Media and the Family says a teenage boy playing a violent game for hours on end and the mistreatment of women is glamourised, is not suitable during "these very, very important informative years.

Pourquoi tant de haine envers nous, joueurs ?
