ABC Reports on Dire Warnings for Video Game Industry
Apparently kids playing violent video games isn’t the responsibility of their parents. No. It’s the responsibility of anyone else. Heck, maybe even Canada.
In explanation: ABC is running a story on the MediaWise report card for the gaming industry. While they’re totally against censorship, they’re under the impression that the media rating system is totally broken… because parents buy their kids M rated games.
Here’s a newsflash. Maybe the people buying the games aren’t total idiots and can actually read those boldly labled warnings about violence and profanity. Maybe they just don’t care.
And another thing. If you’re playing a game (Grand Theft Auto III) in which a method of play involves brutally beating people with body parts and running them over repeatedly.. an accidental (and rather well censored) sex scene might not be the most offensive bit. Just a thought.
