How to stop my special needs son wanting to play Grand Theft Auto! Please help!

[NotSuperhuman]

We never allowed violent video games into our home. Our oldest was 16 and he borrowed it from a friend and though I kept barring it my oldest and husband didn't see the problem. My special needs child then found the game and it fascinated him - all he wants to do is ride on the train in the game, go to the airport and walk around the streets. He's now obsessed with it and now that my special needs son is 18 he wants to play the game. I relented because he was so distressed about not being allowed to have it and he does just ride on the train after all. Now he's becoming more aggressive and angry. I do think the game is affecting him. How can I get him away from this horrible game? Advice desperately needed!

I've always considered that I don't sweat the small stuff anymore but I might just be a bad momma

I actually prefer things (DS1 is much less angry and aggressive) when he is obsessively playing GTA rather than FIFA. He hates losing but rarely loses in GTA because he can chose to ignore missions. He is always losing at fifa.

He has barely left the house for the past year (age 15) so has not been involved in any heists, is not minding a house for a gang-lord and we have had no problems with 'hookers'.

otoh FIFA is the bane of my life as it is the root of multiple meltdowns and constantly spills over into real life - like the time that DS1 spent £1k (real money) on TOTW cards over a matter of days.

Skate 3 is funny. When DS1 engages in 'anti-social' behaviour, like taking a can of drink from somebody who has just bought it from a vending machine, the crowd of passerbys turn into an angry mob and seek justice by attacking his character.

My DS is 13 and I'm going to sound like a terrible mum now. However, my DS reacts much more aggressive etc to the FIFA games than playing on GTA

I was insistent that that game would never come in the house, however, after monitoring his reactions, interactions etc, the GTA game is absolutely the less of 2 evils.

We've actually made a point of buying it for DH so it's not actually ds' game.
