It seems that politicians, scholars, and academics decrying the video game industry have become common; however, it now seems that busineses are taking a turn at chastising the gaming world.

According to a report by Gamepolitics that can be read here, a Florida-based investment group that offers ‘a biblical choice’ when it comes to investment matters, chastised Take-Two for their involvement in the ‘anti-family entertainment and pornography industry.’

The investment group, named the Timothy Plan, also criticized another Rockstar property, Bully: Scholarship Edition and made it clear that Take-Two is on its ‘Hall of Shame’ list, which is complied to profile companies that ‘fail to adhere to Judeo-Christian principles.’ A detailed assessment of the list can be found here.

It is unlikely that the positions taken by this company will affect the sales of GTAIV or Take-Two’s standing, but what it does show is the ease in which religion can be used to make business decisions. A scary prospect, isn’t it?
