I mean... WOW! Lets have people dance along with a washed-out looking impersonator of a tragic pop culture figure (and possible child molester) who has been dead for barely a year.

" @SeriouslyNow said:Morally I agree with you. Business wise not so much. The fact that this exists now is testament to that. They are trading on his death because it raised his public profile enough to sell the game." @Gamer_152 said:There's a world of difference between selling people a million My Farm and myNotebook clones and trying to profit from the death of a person.
