Lambourn offered to remove the game if he received $2,000 in "donations." For an additional $1,000 he offered to apologize.
"Attention angry people: I will take this game down from newgrounds if the donation amount reaches $1000 US. I'll take it down from here if it reaches $2000 US, and I will apologise if it reaches $3000 US."
Lambourn later retracted the offer to remove the game, stating:
…the donation thing is there as a joke against all the people commanding me to take my game down. I didn't think anyone would donate money to it and so far my paypal account has proven me right…
More recently, an "RIAA edition" was created, with the original tracks removed, due to copyright infringement with the RIAA. This has replaced the original version on Newgrounds, The original edition was until recently available on Lambourn's site, however it has since been removed due to further threats from the RIAA. Now the RIAA edition is the only available one on his site, with the title music "Hey, Hey, Hey, Fuck The RIAA" on a looped track. However the unedited version can still be found at http://gameswtf.com/2262/Virginia_Tech_Shooting_Game/Action_Games/free_flash_game.html and on the internet archive at http://web.archive.org/web/20070620234345/http://googumproduce.com/flash/vtech.swf . The MP3 of the music in question can also be acquired this way at http://web.archive.org/web/20070620234353/http://googumproduce.com/musicdl.php?n=kekeke

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“All the events which make the annals of the nations are but the shadows of our private experiences.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“If I have renounced the search of truth, if I have come into the port of some pretending dogmatism, some new church, some Schelling or Cousin, I have died to all use of these new events that are born out of prolific time into multitude of life every hour. I am as bankrupt to whom brilliant opportunities offer in vain. He has just foreclosed his freedom, tied his hands, locked himself up and given the key to another to keep.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
