Mumbai Terrorist Attacks Delay GTA IV PC Launch In India

Less than a week before the launch of GTA IV for the PC in India at the lowest price point in the world, shocking terrorist activities involving drive-by shootings in a cop car, car bombs and cop killings force local Rockstar / 2K distributor to delay the game for an unspecified number of days for fear of being "insensitive" to the tragedy.

I think delay of GTA4 is the least problem there at the moment.

I mean for f*cks sake! Armed and trained people killing inoccent and defenseless ones. There's no justification for such acts.

[Iraq Resistance ROM]

there is no justification to kill any single innocent sole, but if u take human kind feelings of revenge and oppression and hatred then i think there is a little justification.

God,Islam and quran clearly forbids the killing of any innocent sole without right reason, so these people who did it clearly did not follow the holy book the quran on these actions thus they will be punished in hell for it, but at the same time u need to know 2 important things

1: did u know that there is also Hindu terrorist organization that did terrorist attacks on muslims and that they just discover it last week, and some of their members were a police chief, and hindu priest and several other people hold important government positions? of course u wont see this in the news but if a group call them selfs muslims and do terrorist attacks then each corner of the world will know of it.

2: did u know that the muslims in india is being oppressed by the Hindu government and their army? did u know that kashmir is pure islamic state and yet it is being rule by force by the hindu indians? did u know that rape,killings and kidnapping happens in kashimir by the hindu's and yet no one knows a thing or do anything about it? did u know these terrorist attackers first demand for negotiation was to release their prisoned people from jails and to not oppress the muslims in india??

3: did u know that many times happened in the world some unknown groups who claims they r muslims and do terrorist attacks and the truth is either some other non muslim power is behind them and they just payed them to do it or some other powers did it them selfs so professionally and some stupid groups claim they did it to gain more fame and so more people join them and help them?

with that all said think of the events again and make statements after.

its the worst thing that can ever happen.....i live in that part of the town whr it has happened....and i cant even start to explain to u how bad this thing really is.....i really dunno wat those ppl are gonna achieve by doing this....they said that they want to avenge the injustice done to muslims in india....but in the process have ended up killing more muslims then they can imagine

[LokMessier]

Sorry to hear that it's happening in your town, as much as I want to say "I feel your pain" I haven't been in that situation so I shall refrain from saying such. Though I guess one should be thankful that they are still alive after living through the attacks, stay safe over there.

[RoseSapphire]

Are you kidding me? Not to make light of the horrible events, but releasing a video game half way around the world has nothing to do with it.

[rajman]

Its delayed in India and not half away across the world...try reading the post properly

[DA_SHREDDER]

I say everyone needs to buy a gun and fight back.

[LokMessier]

...?

That would only cause more strife and essentially do more harm than good. What needs to be done is to actually go after the source, depending on one's stand point it could be religion or just the extremist of the religion. Though either way guns is probably the WORST way to go about doing this.

[midnights]

Hilarious how people are disagreeing with LokMessier. Yeah, forget going after the source lets all just grab guns and go shooting. I do believe if a lot of people carried guns on their persons it would make them less susceptible to bad guys but it would cause problems of its own.

[LokMessier]

I come back and see so many disagrees. I guess people like fighting fire with fire even though it does not extinguish the fire but merely spread it? So furthermore I assume people would like it when the extremist are done with their country they will branch out and go to other countries. Being that everybody has a gun that only worsens the problem for other countries.

Wondering the same thing midnights I suppose people think that the problem would only stay in that one region if everyone was allowed a gun. Soon if everyone was allowed a gun extremist would upgrade to something more powerful, then people would have to upgrade just as well. So on and so forth, though oh well send the people that disagreed with me over there with a gun and see how long they would last. As merely strapping on a gun and shooting someone wont solve the problem (granted it may solve the problem of relieving one person) it would not solve it ultimately as extremist move in groups, so kill one be killed by 50 or so.

[SmokedOut]

Theres some crazy stuff going on if anyones seen the news coverage on it, pretty wild...

[StuffRokz]

this is terrible.

i understand the need to try and be sensitive about what happened, but this is kind of giving in to what they want. in my mind anyway. who knows, maybe i'm horribly wrong. wouldnt be the first time.

[sajj316]

as a first gen Indian American ... its quite difficult for me to watch on TV.

[GlibGamer]

I think it's difficult for everyone to watch. No one with a soul could wish this on another person.

[fezthabest]

This is horrible, i've been seeing it in the news for a while now. i mean come on at least 100 people dead, and at least 300 more injured!. The thing is that its not fully over yet. There is still like 10 of them in the hotel with hostages, especially canadian hostages. The worst thing about it is how planned it was and how much weapons they had to use. They had small bomb, rifles, hand grenades, etc.

[bakagaijin78]

People are getting killed but the fact that it is delaying a video game release is being reported as important news....

Unbelievable.

[led1090]

they killed the chief of the anti terror department...so many civilians have died....they're firing at ppl on the street.....hurling grenades at innocent civilians....its utterly disgusting.....i saw a man getting ripped to shreds cause of a grenade explosion yesterday......its hell out here....i cudnt care less for a video game delay right now......

[OuterHaven]

wow a lot of cops died. Many of them high ranking. its terrible.

[Bubble Buddy]

I hope everyone will be safe there. (yn)
