Microsoft will remove a Logan Paul-inspired game mocking suicide from its Xbox Live Creators Collection program, a representative confirmed to Polygon, after Xbox One owners expressed concern over and reported the content.
The Suicide Forest requires players to explore Japan’s famous Aokigahara Forest, colloquially known as “the suicide forest,” and search for the bodies of people who have killed themselves in order to boost views on their YouTube channels. Paul’s real-life actions inspired the game: The popular YouTube creator uploaded an offensive, controversial video of finding the body of a man who appeared to have committed suicide in the Aokigahara Forest.
