Grand Theft Auto 5 - Wife is pissed

My wife and I have had a rough first year of marriage, but that is to be expected blending two families (6 kids between us from prior marriages). Having said that, things have been going pretty well lately. That is until a week ago. I've always been fan of video games and have enjoyed indulging in my free time. These days my free time is sparse. I maybe play at most an hour per week (pre-marriage about an hour per day). I've been looking forward to the release of GTA 5 for a few years now. As a software developer, I've always been amazed at RockStar's technological achievements of their GTA franchise. My wife knows this. My Birthday is in a few days and I told her a week ago that one thing I want, is GTA 5 and some free time to play it. She has outright refused and it is infuriating! She has decided that the sexism and objectification of women in the game, is "too much". She's worried about the example it will set for our children. I've explained to her, that the sexual content can be avoided and that I would not allow the kids to play or even watch me play the game. For whatever reason, she has claimed this war on GTA as her soapbox. She doesn't even want the game in the house! Seriously, I love this women but she has some control issues. To be honest, I'm not at all inclined to indulge her. I'm actually quite pissed that she would put me in the position to make me choose between her and the game; IE days or weeks of the silent treatment and/or withholding sex. We are both Christians but DW is more conservative than I am in in this regard. She's trying to leverage her point of view from a perspective of Biblical faith. This is the silliest thing I think I've ever had a "real" fight about. We are talking about a video game! She has made such a huge deal about it at this point, that I'm bracing myself for the fallout next week when I buy the game (and of course every time I actually play it). She is treating this as being on par with a drinking/gambling/drug/porn addiction, because I'm unwilling to "let it go" and appease her by not playing the stupid game. I'm beyond frustrated at this point. Anyone have some insight/advice? Am I being selfish to want to play a game that DW is so opposed to? Thanks! -FD
