#1 Interesting, though, that the way you punish crimes is not by punishing the individual but by torturing his kids.

Under the guise of fighting corruption this game teaches the ultimate corruption.

#2 I'm not sure it's wise policy for a dictatorship to condone, even virtually, the torture and killing of politicians. How long before the kids start to come up with their own definitions of corruption?

#3 This isn't as big a deal as you might think. Chinese historical dramas routinely depict much-vilified figures from Chinese history, who were generally portrayed as sexually-crazed as well as corrupt. This kind of story with a moral has been part and parcel of Chinese rule for thousands of years. What you can't do is depict create games like this with existing officials as the targets of your ire.
