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:
“Custom, then, is the great guide of human life. It is that principle alone, which renders our experience useful to us, and makes us expect, for the future, a similar train of events with those which have appeared in the past.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“The great events of life often leave one unmoved; they pass out of consciousness, and, when one thinks of them, become unreal. Even the scarlet flowers of passion seem to grow in the same meadow as the poppies of oblivion.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“On the most profitable lie, the course of events presently lays a destructive tax; whilst frankness invites frankness, puts the parties on a convenient footing, and makes their business a friendship.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
