Controversial GTA publisher Take 2 have announced that they're canning drug-dealing game Snow. From MCV:
Snow was a real-time strategy game that saw gamers advance from the ranks of marijuana smuggler to cocaine kingpin. Although the title hadn't yet attained the kind of notoriety boasted by many of Take 2's games, it would have been sure to create a media frenzy, particularly in the US.
It is thought that Take 2 may have chosen to cancel the game following the controversy recently courted by the 'Hot Coffee' Grand Theft Auto scandal.
The Hot Coffee kerfuffle was recently resolved in the US courts, where a Federal Trade Commission ruling demanded that the publisher disclose all of the content on their discs or face up to US$11,000 fine for each game sold.
But don't think they're going soft; they've still got a healthy relationship with GTA-makers Rockstar. After relaxing outside of the spotlight during the release frenzy of their forthcoming table tennis game, both developer and publisher are certain to hit the headlines again with the launch of Bully, a game destined to get up plenty of people's noses.
