All these have pissed someone off. Violence, sex, racism, drugs, copyright infringement, tasteless marketing, Satanism, rape, political BS, using real tragedies, screwing over the paying customers, or objections to having a real-life cathedral as a backdrop for fighting giant monsters, many a reason.

While playing SimCopter, Catman remembers how much fun it was to fly around with the MedEvac helicopter and hit citizens then pick them up to fly them to the hospital just to collect that paycheck.

SimCopter had an Easter Egg where a load of "himbos" would appear at a specific time and start kissing, which got a programmer fired.

Dance Dance Revolution Solo -"In 2002, a local arcade in San Diego, California removed a Solo 2000 machine after members of the local "Youth Advocacy Coalition" complained that the background movies of selected songs contained images that could promote drug and alcohol abuse, such as a scantily clad nurse and pills in "I'm Alive" and alcoholic drinks appearing in "Club Tropicana". The machine was replaced by a mix which did not contain the imagery."
Spore "Spore's use and implementation of SecuROM digital rights management, including the game's activation policies, was subject of widespread criticism and lawsuits; the game was listed as the most pirated game of 2008."

my but that's a big gun you have
i'm almost positive
the vast amount of american shareholders
in corporations
manufacturing weapons
and the myriad of accessories
that positively must adorn them
aren't losing any sleep
over the companies they keep
guiding a nation from the shallows
into the deep
of a bloodbath you only will reap
when your kid comes home
with a hole in his head.
but jesus said
suffer the little children to come unto me
even if
he was only dying to
take a pee.

Ok I know most games on that list and why they are supposed to controversial. Although Mass Effect's reason for being controversial wasn't really true other than you being able to see a bit of side boob on an alien character. Far more controversial was the ending of Mass Effect 3.
But I'm curious about the two Formula 1 games. What's the big deal about those?

Super Monaco GP -"Phillip Morris sued Sega (and some other video game companies, including Namco and Atari Games on behalf of their Final Lap game) because the arcade version of the game contains advertisements that resemble those for Marlboro cigarettes."
Formula 1 97 -"The game was withdrawn from shops six weeks after its release due to legal wranglings with the FIA (Formula One's governing body) objecting to the use of the FIA logo on the game's packaging. It was re-released without the logo, but the FIA were still unhappy. However, the FIA lost a court case, and the game continued to be sold without the logo."

Mass Effect -"Falsely accused by evangelical blogger Kevin McCullough of containing "rape and sodomy", which later led to the removal of McCullough's blog entry on Townhall.com. The game was featured on the Fox News Channel following the controversy, with host Martha MacCallum, which included the headline "full graphic sex". In actuality, the game's most explicit content is an indirect "sideboob" shot of a humanoid alien breast. "

I'm sure glad Nuclear Throne isn't on that list.
It's my favorite game.

“Super Columbine Massacre”? Jesus fucking Christ!
Most of these are a joke that it offended anyone but I didn’t know they made an rpg based around a mass shooting. 5 years after it happened too?

"The game simulates the events of the Columbine High School massacre, having the player take on the roles of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold and acting out the massacre"
