news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/technology/newsid_7540000/7540623.stmAll because some crazy guy had blamed his murder of a taxi driver on it. Welcome to Thailand prostitution is a okay but don't you dare insult the King or play that GTA! Actually; to tell you the truth this isn't really that big of a deal to me but the fact that Thailand has caught my bad side so many times......

Come on, someone died. That is a big deal.
They're removing the game because the murderer told the police he wanted to see if it was as easy to jack a car as it is in GTA... of course the game didn't make this freak a freak; if it wasn't GTA, he probably would have blamed every John Woo movie ever.

I didn't read that they 'banned' GTA. The publisher in Thiland, New Era Interactive, pulled the game. Two very different things.

Jeez, I hate how videogames are always caught up in being apart of the blame game. If someone kills someone, it's GTA. If someone burns down a house, its gta. How bout those people actually grow some balls and accept what theyve done without blaming anything else.
and of course it's not as easy. IRL there isnt a triangle or Y button that lets you automatically open up a car and shove a person out. What an idiot

give it time when the movies came out people blamed the movies, television got blamed its video games turn to take the blame game so maybe in thirty or forty years people will find something else to blame and leave video games alone
