  In 50 years

  What will they say about what we did with our lives when they look at what we left behind? Will they think we were all blood thirsty killers when they see the games we played. Or will they think we enjoyed war and loved to see it played out over and over again. They could see us as people afraid to try something new or, people with healthy imaginations. I think about this as it appears the issue of game violence may be heading to the US Supreme court and possible restrictions may be placed on the medium. But when you think about it, very few games have tried to reach into the areas of the human experience as other art forms. So when the eventual clamp on free speech comes down on them, they will not have the ability to do what they need to do to ensure gaming's survival. It's just a feeling I have, that games will not have the chance to say anything important before they can't say anything at all.
