Actually, in my experience "banning" a game is virtually a gaurantee of
success. if some lunatic bible fringe comes out scrteeming for a game to be
banned, it assures you of more free advertising than you could ever afford
to pay for. Also we all know enough about child psychology to know how
desirable something becomes when you are told that you can't have it...
