The latter are even considering the possibility of a lawsuit for "moral damage", saying that gambling harms the image of the city. If the first two episodes of the game were happening at the time of the Far West, the latter component is part of him, in a modern context. He live players with a bloody spree in Los Angeles in Ciudad Juarez, on the bottom of drug trafficking.
And that's where the rub. The city is notorious in Tech Buzz News for its drug dealers and record rate of murders, eight per day on average since the beginning of 2011.
