You let a 6 year-old play video games on "his ipad". You're the one sacrificing children to satan with shit like that.

The father's complaint was that he wasn't aware of the content. Read @argosciv info (above) on the rating of the game being (17+) but Googleplay rated it PG and no rating was included on the steam page.
You're correct, it's the parents' responsibility to vet games and movies before giving them to the kids.
[–] argosciv 2 points 0 points 2 points (+2|-2) ago
It's also a fair contention that the father let their 6 year old spend so much time on an ipad.
Terrible example of parenting.
Nobody is in the right between the two.
That said, Goat Simulator is a terrible video game and in at least a few ways should be condemned for being a blight on the industry – there's even a mild connection to Activision (discovered while digging further in the time since my comment), which opens the whole thing up to further suspicion.

That's not the whole point of the game lol. It's a sandbox game, you can do whatever you want. Just like in real life, you can choose not to summon Satan. It was never an innocent silly game. It's rated 17+ for a reason.
Rating Summary
This is a simulation game in which players cause as much damage as possible with a goat in an open-world environment. Players earn points by using the goat's abilities (e.g., ramming, jumping, running) to destroy objects and complete challenges/stunts. Several stunts depict acts of violence: characters getting hit by vehicles; players shooting people with baseballs, destroying a gas station, pushing humans off cranes. A handful of challenges involve knocking other goats out of a large blood-stained fighting circle. During the course of the game, players can engage in a text-based mini-game (i.e., “Drug Wars”) that involves the fictional buying and selling of drugs (e.g., crack, heroin, opium). The game also includes instances of crude humor (e.g., characters holding signs that read “No penis shaped foods.”). The words “f*k” and “sht” appear in the dialogue.
It's true the father didn't see the other activities as being a problem (for a 6 year old to play) as he played the game with his son for a few days. (I doubt he saw the drug selling parts of the game). The game is a parody of other games/movie scenes and has a lot of humor added in it seems, so for a parent who is used to more serious (violent) games, it may not have seemed like a big deal.

Thanks for posting this. I meet with parents and will pass this on. They are covering all the bases it seems. They have clubs in schools and now games to entice them. Moms and Dads can’t use iPads as babysitters. Dangerous.

Giving this the "Share!" flair, K9. Watched a video by Fr. Chad Ripperger, an exorcist, a few weeks ago, who warned that multiple exorcists have had to deal with cases of demonic obsession and/or oppression of kids and teens related to real demon-summoning rituals in video games over the past few years. Wish I could remember which video it was. He's got a LOT of enlightening talks on YouTube.
The fact they hid the diabolical elements of this deep in the game is very telling, IMO.

I used to hate It when watching a show on TV when I did watch TV and they start chanting or do a spell, always hit mute as I feel this is a way to bring whatever they are saying into one's space as well.

Yes. From what I've been reading, neither angels nor demons can read your thoughts, but they can access your imagination and memory -- faculties based completely in the physical body according to Thomas Aquinas (thoughts are the province of the intellect which resides in the soul, not the body). This is why it's important to be careful about what you allow into your imagination and memory, because demons can use that material to deceive you, tempt you and attempt to create anxiety in order to spur you to sin. It's also why seeking the help of your Guardian Angel is so important -- he can help you remember good things and forget bad. Very interesting stuff.

Oh, he goes into great detail on that subject. That's mainly what he teaches. The YouTube channel of his order is Sensus Fidelium.

Glad you brought this up and I have been screaming about what is in video games for 15 years now,since I discovered something in a game my stepson was playing.I also was a voice actor and did a popular (not going to mention it). I found out a whole lot doing that and these games, many of them, are to indoctrinate your children into their satanic world,warm them up to the idea of trans humanism plus much much ,more. As a parent, always check the games. These games today have more sway than films or TV for many children

Ripperger says in various of his talks on his experience as an exorcist that drug dealers, porn distributors, game distributors and some pharmaceutical manufacturers regularly use rituals to put a curse on their products, making them more addictive.

Now, is there a way to know if the owners are Jew ?
Just curious....

Just now seeing this comment (guessing you forgot to ping without the edit lol).
Yep, already looked into the swedish end of things as much as I had the energy to for now (bed soon). Bit of a dead end there for me thus far. As previously mentioned though, the Activision angle keeps suspicion in the air.

For the record, the game is rated M(Mature audiences aged 17+) on the ESRB site for:
To some extent, the parent making the complaint could have found the ESRB rating information if they cared that much, but I digress...
However, this information is not present on the steam page. (Search: "Goat Simulator Steam Page")
Moreover, Googleplay rates the phone app as PG. (Search: "Goat Simulator Phone App")
The underlying point here being that distribution platforms for the game are deceptive/conflicting about the game's content.
Noteworthy from the wikipedia page:
(Formatting and deliberately dud link added for emphasis, see below)
This is particularly noteworthy for a few reasons:
Firstly take a look at Double Eleven Studios' logo – under less suspicious circumstances, I'd shrug this off as no big deal, but reading the history/founding/recent activity of Double Eleven Studios gives at least myself reason to distrust their intention.
More importantly though, there's a very particular reason why Double Eleven's involvement in the XBox releases of Goat Simulator is suspicious:
Video showing one way (arguably the easiest) to complete the 'ritual' to become a Devil Goat on the PC version of the game
Video explained:
You first find your way to the Goat Throne, to obtain a special power which allows you to summon up to 7 (or possibly more) Goat Ragdolls at a time. Then you head out to the ritual site, which is just up a short path nearby to a house which represents the game developers' HQ with signage reading "Coffee Stain Studios", and then use your newly gained summoning power to appease the ritual using summoned goats (no humans required).
While reading through the comments to this video, I discovered many people saying that they can only summon 4 Goat Ragdolls. As it turns out, someone replied to one of these complaints by informing them that the summoning ability was changed for the XBox releases to only summon up to 4 Goat Ragdolls, thus creating a requirement for the sacrifice of at least one human.
Therefore, the element of human sacrifice was not originally a requirement of the 'ritual' (though it appears that the Goat Ragdolls and human subjects are interchangeable on all platforms), but was actually introduced as an unavoidable requirement for the XBox versions (published by Double Eleven Studios) and likely the subsequent, inexplicably PG-rated mobile app versions (which were published by the original developers, Coffee Stain Studios).
All in all, I'd go ahead and agree that this game, like Outer Wilds, reeks of industry manipulation (potentially even serving to help launder money) and attempts to, on some level or another, mess with people through questionable content.
On the grounds of industry manipulation, there are many notable tangents worth digging into via the wiki pages for Goat Simulator, Coffee Stain Studios and Double Eleven Studios, but I'll leave that part up to those interested for now. Follow the money as they say (and corporate hierarchy/history).

That shits wild, that logo tells you everything though. Thanks for taking the time to post all of that.

No worries.
Best not to thank me though, because #ArgoscivManBad even when he lends a hand in researching suspicious activity in the video game industry.

Thanks for the added info. They are deliberately pushing this.
[–] argosciv 1 point 2 points 3 points (+3|-1) ago
Y'welcome. Normally I wouldn't pay much mind to something like this in such a garbage game, but the discrepancy between PC version and XBox (+ others?) versions, namely the introduced unavoidable requirement, is particularly "wtf?". Given especially that console and mobile app releases are far more likely to fall into the hands of those under the ESRB age recommendation of 17.

I knew it from the start. Why should one create such a game. Voila there is the answer
