Calling people children for taking offense (Gaming)

Much depends on the impact of the art in question and its role as an historical artifact. I agree with Cody in principle, but I don’t care as much as he does about preserving video games—not this one in particular anyway. If Terry Pratchett wants to destroy works that haven’t seen the light of day, that’s his business. When George Luxus decides that the 1977 version of Star Wars shouldn’t exist, that’s a whole different bag.
I'll reiterate my "good thing I'm not creative" standpoint. I'm horrified by what Lucas decided to do with Star Wars, but at the end of the day, it was his. Which means (imo, of course) his to destroy. Monet did it, Georgia O'Keefe did it, Francis Bacon did it.
It's a tragedy... but it's not my place to say it shouldn't be done. (That isn't to say I don't wish it weren't done.)
I'm firmly of the belief that if I create something, what I do with it is my prerogative. It might be stolen from me, it might grow and gain new life based on the actions of others (against my will, even)... but if I want to destroy it, I can. It's mine to destroy.
I don't believe that a piece of art can transcend its creator (in the sense that the creator loses rights towards it).
