I feel like it means: we are not like Nintendo, we make video games for adults (and children who want to play like adults).
Also, our games are as good as drugs.
I miss that era. Companies didn’t mind a bit of edginess and weren’t afraid to market to adults. The console culture itself also isn’t what it used to be.
These days, gaming consoles all need to be safe enough for five year olds to play on them. And it’s caused everything to be just too bland and safe, both in marketing and the console itself. Can’t really have things like Xbox 360 Uno with the live camera feed and no moderation. Or the wholly uncensored COD lobbies.
Rockstar used to go pretty hard.
This game, appropriately, is where I learned there was such a thing as uppers and downers.
It’s likely they were trying to get the news riled up so they could cause a moral outrage that would attract attention to the game.
All right I’ll ask the dumb question here, what am I looking at? From what I can tell they are tiny empty bags
Those type of bags are usually used to hold illicit substances, and typically only bought by small-time drug dealers.
And board game players!
And electronics hobbyists!
