Grow Op game pulled from NY Toy Fair

I'm paraphrasing from the morning news.

The BC made game was not consistent with values we wish to impart to children.

The game manufacturers countered that there were many games at the fair that featured war and violence etc. Besides, the game did teach a lesson - having a Grow Op is not easy, there are many hurdles to overcome.
