As part and parcel when it comes to hysteria over video games, there was plenty of amusement that followed in the comment section of 7 News' video.

Firstly, the mod has been around for more than a year and there are a ton of these floating around from forces around the world. Secondly, had the police never heard of the "Streisand effect?" Attempting to quash the mod has resulted in more people knowing about it, and well, downloading it. Whoops.

This is all a reminder of the good old days back in 2003 when U.S. attorney Jack Thompson began his crusade against video games like Grand Theft Auto andBully,claiming they made kids violent.

Oh, video game haters, never change.
