Look, The Sims can get villainous. You play god and can deprive a simulated individual of basic necessities or trap them in a swimming pool or whatever. But Adults Only?

You suck, Russia. Please take all the Fox news pundits that idolize Putin and have them build ramshackle hotels for next time you host an international sporting event. And send pirozhki.
