@xianc78 @lina I think it's because of the content: No Russian letting you play as a terrorist/mass shooter was shocking because few developers want to be seen as making a "mass shooter simulator". Even RWS infamously made the last mission of Postal a scripted delusion sequence where you couldn't pull off a school shooting and cut it out entirely in Redux (as they became Safe-Edgy).
Seeing a terror attack with child victims doesn't have the same level of "bite" to it as a mission where you're literally getting to play out IRL terror attacks/mass shooters IRL.

And even fewer developers want to make games involving child death. That's why children are absent in games like GTA, Postal, and Hatred. This especially became true after Columbine. Hell, a lot of people believe that part of the reason that Mother 3 still hasn't been localized is the fact that child death is a key part of the game's plot.
