Up Yours Games, the controversial game developer behind such titles as "Grand Theft Auto" and "Cyber Bully," has announced they are in the final stages of developing their new game, "Cyber Stalker." "After the success of 'Cyber Bully,' 'Cyber Stalker' seemed like a natural fit," said company spokeswoman Julia Retting.
In the game, players first select a target from a list of the "Most Stalkable Women" provided by the editors of Rosy Palm Magazine. Alternately, players can choose to create their own target with special victimizer software, where players pick the right hair, body shape, and other features to create their ideal victim.
The player then embarks on many missions of increasing difficulty, from simple trolling missions to intimidation and threats.
Along with completing the missions, players are awarded points based on obsession level, degree of alienation of subject, and restraining orders accumulated.
Noted human rights activist Jack Goodman has filed a strong objection to the game's content. "This game is a training manual for criminal activity on the Web and should be banned from being published, distributed, or even publicized, in the interests of personal freedom and safety. I find this game shameful on every possible level."
Predictably, Retting replied, "Up Yours Games rejects the notion that our video games encourage crime. 'Cyber Stalker' provides a safe, consequence-free way for people to explore their stalking fantasies. Anyway, the license agreement for the game clears us of any liability."
