@shingui5 @corteztheg I forget not everyone using this site is from the US. I looked up PAL version of games once but forgot what it means. ^^;
But I think my point still stands. How games are portrayed in the media pretty much does affect us. They weren't even allowed to have M rated games in Australia until this year right?
I agree with a lot of what he said. I think I'm about as interested as I have been for the last couple console launches. They really are just a means to get to great gaming. Something I "have to buy" and I do buy pretty much all of them.
The choices each company makes will be very interesting. Will Microsoft finally kick the annal fee on Xbox live to the curb? Will competition force them to? That would be SO nice.
@EmphaZima @corteztheg Yes. We should demand better from our news media in general. I keep hearing non-bjective journalism just doesn't bring in viewers like "personalities" and pundits do though.
@gufberg Maybe. I imagine a lot of pitfalls relating to this kind of public attention and how many game industry people have experience with this sort of thing? Would you want to be blamed by the entire industry if things got out of hand in that setting?
We really do need a good ambassador to take on these kind of stories.
Didn't you hear? Joe Biden is about to start pushing plans to tax violent games. He things he will simply because he "can." or something along those lines. He call call on every misinformed person who watched this garbage to support him.
It's just wrong. And if it goes through it may very well not affect us too much in the end(maybe a couple dollars extra) but it's still wrong.
I don't know much about this Katie Couric but I don't now how journalist can be considered one of her skills after that one sided hit-job she pulled. She had people yack for for 60 minutes representing one side of the debate and thought it would somehow come across as fair?
