GTA 5 has received a few complaints after claims of its "too mature" content that it got even banned in a select stores in Australia, as reported by Game Spot. Take-Two Interactive, who is the parent publisher of the game reacted with the ban. 

The company's president Karl Slatoff said that they are initially disappointed with the situation and disregarded it nevertheless.

"Obviously the Australia situation is disappointing on many levels," Slatoff said. "It's not impactful to our business, frankly. Australia is relatively small. Two retailers are relatively small in the context of Australia. There's other places for folks to buy Grand Theft Auto in Australia."

With heavy content of mature and graphic content, some reporters allegedly screamed foul to take their decision to not sell the game in some stores in Australia including Target. The decision by some retailers were tagged to be understandable for Slatoff.

"It's one thing for a person to not want to buy a piece of content, which is completely understandable. And that's really the solution. If you don't like it; if it's offensive to you, then you don't buy it," he said. "But for a person or a group of people to try to make that decision for millions of people ... we have 34 million people who have bought Grand Theft Auto V. If these folks had their way, none of those people would be able to buy Grand Theft Auto."

"And that really just flies in the face of everything that free society's based on," Slatoff added. "It's the freedom of expression, and to try to quelch that is a very dangerous and slippery slope to go down. So it's really more disappointing for us in that regard than it is in the context of our business. Our business is going to be completely unaffected by this. It doesn't make a difference to us. At the end of the day, though, it's not something that you want because it's just a poor leadership decision."

"We are disappointed that an Australian retailer has chosen no longer to sell GTA 5--a title that has won extraordinary critical acclaim and has been enjoyed by tens of millions of consumers around the world. GTA 5 explores mature themes and content similar to those found in many other popular and groundbreaking entertainment properties. Interactive entertainment is today's most compelling art form and shares the same creative freedom as books, television, and movies. I stand behind our products, the people who create them, and the consumers who play them."
