Leading stationer WH Smith takes the incentive and removed Rave from their shelves as the "illegal" content of the game would be going against their family-friendly image. After the retailer reached for their moral compass and removed the game from it's shelves, wow's board game was eventually withdrawn entirely from purchase by the Government as the game promotes drug taking.
