Sales of Grand Theft Auto have been halted in Thailand. On Monday, a teenager confessed to robbing and murdering a taxi driver in attempts to recreate a scene from GTA reports Reuters. The game's Thai distributor is pulling GTA from Thai game shops and replacing them with other games....

The guy who did this is actually 19. He IS NO FUCKING KID.  His parents apparently epic failed in parenting.

I can't be a game designer in this country. Somebody please come take me somewhere.

EDIT : I guess I better put more disscussion here. Basically they're going to ban GTA in Thailand. Pffff. The guy didn't even have money to buy the game and he's still somehow manage to find the game and play it!  Halting the sales of the game won't help as long as they can find cheap pirate version of the game for $1 here in Thailand.

Lol, they should give him harsher punishment for being such a dumbass and blaming his actions on a vidyagaem.

Christ, I love how people fall for it too.

He looks awfully glazed over in that pic.

Pulling GTA off the shelves probably won't accomplish a whole lot. People do stupid things regardless of what's out there.

Also I'd hardly blame the game for this. I'd stick the blame on either the parents or this guy's own brain. Normal people don't just go out and pick up a violent game and suddenly go "hey, I'd like to try that in real life!"

Lol, they should give him harsher punishment for being such a dumbass and blaming his actions on a vidyagaem.

I agree, we should give him a harsher punishment for possibly having a mental illness.
Let's show them crazies we mean business

Awesome!
Without these violent videogames Thailand will be a safe place to raise children again!

Any bets the dumbass blamed it on GTA because he thought that'd make him get away with it.
