(Mashable) Two large retailers in Australia have pulled Grand Theft Auto V from shelves after more than 40,000 people signed a petition.
Kmart has joined Target in banning the “sickening” game which “encourages players to commit sexual violence and kill women,” according to a statement from the big-box retailer. Kmart and Target in Australia are owned by Wesfarmers Limited and not affiliated with the U.S. brands.
After a “significant review” of GTA content, Kmart said in the statement they would remove the product immediately and “apologises for not being closer to the content of this game.”
