LOL, they should look up the word "glamorize." It does not, so far as I'm aware, include have the police hunt you down and shoot you like a dog.

The real issue is that people don't think that games can work on any level other than the bluntly fun, so from that perspective anything mentioned or referenced is being supported. I remember when there was a purported "rape scene" in Xenosaga (there wasn't one,) and people went nuts. Now, even if the scene in question HAD been a rape scene, the act (reaching in a girl's rib-cage with a ghostly hand to remove some etherial thing or another,) was done by the villain, and he later was killed for having done it. And yet, people claimed that the game was some disgusting rape sim.

I had my problems with GTA4, but I was always impressed by its sharp sense of sarcasm and irony. It's a witty game. Overall the meta-game of rampaging and mission-doing undermined Niko's character so much I couldn't enjoy the story much, but Rockstar is kind of on the forefront of social commentary. If only through the radio stations.
