The UK electrical retailer confirms that it won't be stocking Rockstar Vancouver's school-based title...
The owners of UK electrical retailer Currys, have today confirmed that its stores will not be stocking copies of Rockstar's Canis Canem Edit, commenting that it was "...the explicit link between violence and children that led us [DSG Retail] to the decision on this particular game."
Canis Canem Edit, which takes place during the course of a school year at a particularly rough boarding school in New England, has been subject to negative coverage in the mainstream media since it was first announced in May 2005 - described as a "bullying simulator" by certain media outlets and organisations that had judged the game on limited details of its content.
In a statement, representatives from Curry's parent company DSG Retail said:
"We have no plans to stock Canis Canem Edit. We're fully aware people will be able to buy this game elsewhere, but we feel this game is not appropriate for Currys' family-friendly image. We have a good relationship with the game's producers Rockstar, and look forward to working with them going forward."
The move by Currys echoes it's decision to pull stocks of Rockstar's Manhunt in 2004, though it's unclear whether Canis Canem Edit will be held in permanent detention by the firm.
We'll have more news shortly...
