In addition, the game includes elements of illicit or proscribed drug use related to incentives or rewards. Such depictions are prohibited by the computer games guidelines.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Volition and publisher Deep Silver said they are reworking elements of the game for resubmission to the board.
