This is what lead designer Greg Rizzer, of the Simpson’s game, had to say about the “Parodies” in the game.

“I was always under the impression that when you do parody, it’s a sign of respect… If we make fun of Grand Theft Auto, we’re not going to hurt the sales of Grand Theft Auto… But yeah, we’ve definitely had some reactions – we’ve had to pull stuff from the game”, The Simpsons lead designer Greg Rizzer revealed to us in an interview earlier this week.

“But that’s cool to me”, Rizzer continued. “It’s cool to still know, I feel, that the industry’s been waiting for a game like this to come along. It’s been too long since we really had one, and of course [there’s] The Simpsons being the perfect vehicle to poke fun at the games industry.”

He goes on to say that this past Leipzig game show. Someone was offended by their Grand Theft Scratchy poster. They where asked to take it down.
