It wasn't.
No one gave a frick until it got cancelled, because the new publisher didn't want to be connected with it.

>No one gave a frick until it got cancelled
They did, it was in all the magazines about how it would be the sickest and most twisted game ever! Then it got canceled and nobody cared anymore except when they put it in the top 10 failures or whatever top 10 list they could shove it in as a curiosity.
Magazine coverage =/= anyone irl giving a frick
And they didn't
Virgin Games wanted to manufacture controversy to sell this game, but they went out of business before the release. EA inherited the game and didn't want to deal with existing media buzz, so they cancelled it.

different time, different subject altogether. bible thumper types have been seen as subhumans for the last 15 years.
There's no such thing as a bible thumper.
disingenuous homosexual, there absolutely is
You never met a Jehovah's Witnesses butthole, have you?
Jackass Thompson probably hope to get the best bait to woo the Debate to ban video games, so they trashed the game but had some separate party to leak the iso
I was so hyped on this game as a kid. I bought the Wu-Tang game just to get a chance to play this piece of shit
all you needed was a vietnamese friend with a cd burner?
I lived in a white neighborhood
Pure jank
>Commence creepy music and win quote
I liked it and would love to play a sequel.

Boring. Half of the appeal of this game it's its lore, characters and music.
i only remember hearing kids mention this game as some sort of gory urban legend. dont recall there being any media buzz at all. the only real violent vidya controversy from my perspective was mortal kombat (along with night trap, but c'mon).
I remember seeing copies of this being sold in Iranian vidya shops back in ~2004 and being completely puzzled by it being on shelves. 99.9% of the software there was pirated or false advertising so I assumed it was a fake, but I kept seeing it at other stores so I decided to get a copy and try it out, and sure enough it was a functional copy of Thrill Kill
Definitely didn't live up to the hype. I wonder if I've still got that disc around someplace.
Such a cute deadly b***h.
Its not so much that it was controversial, it was just that it was too spicy for EA to publish after they acquired the IP rights to it.
People "cared" about it because they couldn't have it, rather than the game being noteworthy
I wonder how many of those lunatic devs involved are in jail now
Still better characters than anything recent.
It was never officially released, numbnuts.
