CGW: But don't you think that you're just giving ammunition to the Hillary Clintons and the Jack Thompsons' of the world? They'll wind up attacking you.
AM: You know what? I hope they do. This game was born out of my fustrations. This game deals with the political nature of fear, of the war, of race issues, of all these things today. I would like nothing more than to go on television with Hillary Clinton and look her in the eye and go, "Wait a second. You want to tell me that you want to ban my videogame - or you don't accept the fact that its' available for people who are 18 and over - and yet you go on record saying you want to send more kids to Iraq? And they start enlisting before they're 17 years old - befoe they can even buy a videogame where we simulate violence, you want to send them off to war?"
