Target Australia has announced plans to remove Grand Theft Auto V from stores effective immediately in response to customer complaints. The move comes after a number of issues were brought forward to the retailer via petition, with many citing the “game’s depictions of violence against women” as the primary cause for concern.
In a press release, the company’s Jim Cooper — General Manager of Corporate Affairs — weighed in on the decision to pull Rockstar’s controversial blockbuster from the shelves.
We’ve been speaking to many customers over recent days about the game, and there is a significant level of concern about the game’s content. We feel the decision to stop selling GTA 5 is in line with the majority view of our customers. While these products often contain imagery that some customers find offensive, in the vast majority of cases, we believe they are appropriate products for us to sell to adult customers.
