Japanese Hentai video game banned by Amazon

Rapelay to be honest is boring (if you've played it you konw that) and yes it might make people feel sick. What is Rapelay you may ask, well it is a video game that allows players to stalk and gang rape virtual women - and then force them to have an abortion.
Since Amazon.com recieved many complaints from its users who feel offended or pissed by Rapelay's sales on the site, the hentai game has been pulled from its listing forever, You can still get results by searching keywords, but the link to it no longer functions.
In Rapelay, gamers direct a character to sexually assault a mother and her two young daughters at an underground station, before raping any of a selection female characters.
However, the game was intended for release just in Japan. Illusion is the maker of the video game and it creates other 3D hentai games such as "Battle Raper1" "Battle Rape2" and "Artificial Girl". There is a note on its offical site: "We thank you for your interest in our softwares and sending many e-mails. Unfortunately, under the company's regulation, our softwares are only available for domestic customers over 18 and not for sale in foreign countries."
Well, I admit I've purchased many Japanese hentai games and other games that simulates the criminal offence (just think of Grand Thief Auto series) but they don't turn me into a badass who harms society. Can I say it is actually NOT the primary problem of these crime simulation games (they do have an effect of though)? Games classification and laws play a bigger rule to prevent the potential criminal behaviors.
