I don't have a problem with this particular game being bought sold or played, but I do think that it should have an ESRB rating of AO. Since the things that occur in video games are fantasy, rather than reality I don't really see any harm in adults engaging in such games. As to children it's the responsibility of the parents to oversee what their children are allowed to play or download.
It should not be banned for adult use simply because children may attempt to obtain said game or play said game. I don't; however, have a problem with Amazon not carrying the game, as a business decision, but I would strongly oppose any governmental prevention of the sale and distribution of said game to adults.
I think that most adults can distinguish fantasy from reality, so I don't think we should be in the business of prohibiting video games, as far as adult use is concerned, based on social noms, or what we find to be offensive. If a person commits an actual crime (I'm thinking in terms of unlawful force, fraud, & theft in all it's forms against another person), then punish them for said crimes committed in accordinance with local/state/federal laws, but don't ban things simply because they're offensive to social norms (absent someone being victimized by such behaviour in and of itself).
