Control a group of kids and try to dominate or manipulate the neighborhood socially, economically, or by force. The game features a vintage dos feel and is similar to a board game. It is multiplayer and browser based with a real time updating map, and a manual is available on the home page.

In an time where bullying is not and should not be tolerated I think a game with these themes is going to send the wrong message to today's youth. How about a game where you instead control a group of kids who go around and stop others from doing these sorts of activities by helping others?

Just my thoughts

Hi, this is not a game about bullying. It is a strategic 4x like simulation game based on real events where all participants were consenting.

You state it is a game about control a group of kids who manipulate the neighbourhood socially, economicially or by force. What else can I surmise from a statement like that, that the game doesn't involving bullying or intimidation of some form or another??

Does it matter? Your suggestion is that he should stop making the game because it may "send the wrong message" to today's youth.
So when that same 7 year old kid who you just prevented from playing this game with some "bullying" in it, walks out of the game store with black ops 2, it's fine? When creating a game, limiting it to specific choices because some little kids might happen upon it is a very bad move. That's what age restriction is for.

And I doubt the game is aimed at kids, it'd be more on the teenager area of the market.

Exactly, I think if anyone takes a look at the game they realize at first glance it is harmless. Capt, if you just watch a few seconds of the video I think you'll agree. There are also more at http://www.youtube.com/lowrentgaming
