Personally, the addition of drugs, sex, and criminal violence in video games seems excessive in my opinion. The only thing accomplished by adding them is an increased tolerance for them in society and I don't see that as a good thing.
Just in case someone feels my comments are an attack on their views, I never said you had to agree with me.

The bold text really sums up my feelings towards games like this as well. I simply don't see any reason to create games that allow kids to vicariously experience these types of things. Because, at least with some, the video experience will eventually not be "thrilling" enough and they will want to try the real thing.
I just cannot condone a game that glorifies indulging in drugs, prostitution and criminal behavior in general.
