WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (AP) -- A lawsuit by Haitian groups that asks for the top-selling video game "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" to be removed from store shelves will be decided in federal court.

Haitian civil rights groups filed the lawsuit because the game instructs players to "kill the Haitians" and awards points for each kill.

The suit was filed December 23 in state circuit court in Palm Beach County. Attorneys for Rockstar Games Inc. opted to move the case to federal court, and that motion was granted Tuesday. No hearing dates were immediately set.

New York-based Rockstar Games has agreed to remove the offensive line from future versions of the award-winning video game that has sold 11 million copies.

But the Haitian organizations, led by the Haitian-American Coalition of Palm Beach County, have also asked for more than $15,000 in damages.

The lawsuit takes on heavyweights in the video game industry, including Rockstar Games, its parent company Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., Sony Computer Entertainment, the Microsoft Corp., and retailers Target, Wal-Mart and Best Buy.

The manufacturer of the game, in which an ex-convict is hired to recover stolen drug money in the streets of Miami, has been harshly criticized for its portrayal of Haitians.

Earlier this month, about 100 Haitian-Americans demonstrated outside a Wal-Mart Supercenter in nearby Boynton Beach chanting, "Stop Vice City."

Attorneys for the Haitian organizations and the video game manufacturer did not return phone calls late Wednesday.

The government focuses on things like this instead of our growing imperialistic efforts across the world.

This is sad..

It isn't targeting Haitians....if you play the game a main focal point is the ever-growing gang war between the Cubans and the Haitians.....You just happen to be on the Cuban side....

It would have the same effect if the game took place in LA and you have to kill a bunch of Crips in order to get the Bloods to do a few things for you.....

Cryptic Thoughts 01-02-04 07:28 PM

The government focuses on things like this instead of curtailing our growing imperialistic efforts across the world.

This is sad..

They can make it illegal to sell it I do believe. Though, I'm not an expert on the prohibition of video games.

Yet another indication that video games need First Amendment protection.
