[QUOTE="DSgamer64"][QUOTE="Stonin"]Maybe because religious values are quickly drifting away from younger generations who can't be bothered with them and let's face it, teenagers are the primary buyers of video games and tend to be neutral towards religion.[QUOTE="DSgamer64"][QUOTE="radoman"]I think the TC has a good point. There is a massive market for christian rock, why wouldnt there be a market for christian games? As for a major dev producing one, credibility suicide.Stonin
No, people are moving away from Christianity but I think you'll find that Islam, amongst others, is fast gaining popularity. This is probably not reflected in American culture but then they are a tiny proportion of the people in this world. You are American correct?
How many people do you know have joined an Islamic religion recently? Cause I don't know anyone who would, I know people of various religions, my younger brother is Christian and that is fine, I am not religious and hate it when people try to push their ideals on me. Most people of an Islamic religion are born into it, they have no choice because their parents force them to follow it.Honestly, do you really believe what you just wrote? Islam isn't big with your friends and family because you live in a pre-dominantly Christian society. You say most people of an Islamic religion are born into it but fail to mention that it is the same for almost every single religion on the planet. Islam is not special in this regard.
No, my parents tried to raise me Christian but I did not have much interest in it as a kid. I know people who were forced to go to Catholic schools yet they were not Catholics and did not believe in religion in some cases.Keep religion out of gaming unless it is a fictive one set in the game's universe. Dreamfall: The Longest Journey is a good example of a game with a well-implemented in-game religion (and the criticism that comes with it is fun).ReddestSkiesDragon Quest and Tales of Symphonia both use a fictive religion, in the case of DQ the Goddess is their religious figure but there really isn't anything related besides the way people speak when they thank you and saving your game requires going to a priest at a church.
