It’s as Bad as It Sounds
There’s no denying that Microsoft made a helpful move for indie developers when they implemented the Xbox Creator’s Program; however, a particularly questionable title has slipped through the cracks. This is yet another parody game based on YouTuber Logan Paul who is, to many, the most obnoxious person on the planet. Specifically, the game is about his questionable trip to Aokigahara Forest in Japan.
The game was first spotted and reported on Twitter, by the Global Community Manager of TT games. Since it’s based on Logan Pauls actual trip, the game description reads as follows:
“Playing as a vlogger, you are going to explore the Aokigahara Forest searching for bodies in order to get millions of views for your channel. The forest is full of dangers, so you gotta be careful, otherwise, you may become one of the bodies you came to film.”
Is this a joke? Just decided to check out the Creators Collection on the Xbox Marketplace and found a free, PEGI 3 rated game based on Logan Paul’s trip to Aokighara Forest… pic.twitter.com/i5XIW7OLvn

While there have been Logan Paul parody games before, the immediate problem with this one was the age rating. Rated PEGI 3, it was somehow made accessible to the public for free. I doubt anyone wants minors near this game, yet there it is. Fortunately, Xbox’s Larry Hryb responded.
This is being taken care of.

While I have no idea how a game gets approved from the Xbox Creator’s Program, here’s to hoping we don’t see anything else as bizarre.
