Video games in court


Video games in court 02/07/2005 02:07 AM
Cory Doctorow: I wrote a short story called Anda's Game that Salon published last year -- it's about kids working in sweatshops playing Massively Multiplayer Online RPGs, grinding through repetitive tasks to earngold for sleazy operators who sell the product of their labor on eBay. The inspiration came from a real-world account of that sort of sweatshops, which has hit the news again today, in a story about the courtroom shenanigans stemming from video games:
A multiplayer online game is sued for allowing its players to dress up like comic book heroes. An upstart company winds up in court for creating a Tijuana sweatshop to manufacture digital weaponry.

A funny thing is happening in these sprawling online multiplayer arenas. The ultimate in digital escapism, virtual worlds keep ending up in the ultimate in depressing reality: the courts.

Video Games Aren't Just For Guys...
Again
09/01/2004 08:58 PM
Every few month or so, there seems to be some random story about how only guys play video games, and how a bigger effort needs to be made to make games for women. Of course, nearly every attempt to target women specifically has failed -- but what people haven't noticed is that women are playing games all the time. In fact, they're considered some of the hardest core gamers, though, more focused on word and puzzle type games. However, that's clearly not all. New studies are showing that as new games become more character driven, instead of kill-everything-driven, women are playing those games as well. As obvious as it seems, it appears the trick to getting women to buy into video games wasn't to make games for women, but to make games for everyone.

Reading this Salon article on sports video games brought back a ton of memories from college. I never got into Madden properly, but I played a ton of Tecmo Bowl, Tecmo Super Bowl, and NHL '94, the latter of which is, in my estimation, the best sports video game of all time (with which Stewart would agree, I'm sure). A quote from the article: [Bo] Jackson isn't the only athlete... (with comments)

AP - The hot new creation at the world's top video game convention may be procreation. Amid the thousands of new products at the Electronic Entertainment Expo featuring shooting, racing, punching, slashing and pummeling, a handful of upcoming titles like "The Sims 2" and "Playboy: The Mansion" have focused on "love" — or at least the physical act of it — as the player's main goal.

Whatever happened to the days when video games were the root of all evil to be purged from polite society? It seems like the video games are fighting back and trying to come across as being... well... wholesome. First we had video games to make kids thin (and help save on health insurance), then there were video games to teach kids about world hunger, and now comes a game designed to teach kids about how dangerous that big internet really is. Using George Jetson (George Jetson?!?) and other pop-culture characters (um, from what decade?), apparently the game is designed to teach these kids how to "identify spam, delete viruses and identify suspicious people in chat rooms." While these are definitely important lessons for kids to learn, you have to wonder how much this game is actually going to help. This sounds like the type of idea that an adult thinks a kid will like, but the kids will wonder what those adults are thinking... and go right back to writing their own viruses and sending out spam to enhance their allowance money.

Apparently, the car racing video game Gran Tourismo has been so popular helping automakers sell cars to young adults, that many car companies are starting to put out their own video games and are setting up places to play the games in dealerships. The article talks about kids who play Gran Tourismo and get so involved in modding and driving a specific car that they want that car in real life as well. However, now that the automakers are realizing this is a good way to sell cars, some are wondering if the fad is over, suggesting that as soon as the folks in suits figure something out, the kids know better than to stick around. Still, it's yet another example of companies realizing that you're better off creating promotional items that people want, and then getting them out there into the world.

Video Games And Hollywood Already On The
Rocks?


Video Games And Hollywood Already On The
Rocks?
05/24/2004 12:27 PM
Over the last year or so there's been a tremendous amount of hype about how video games were "going Hollywood," as the various video game companies worked out deals to tie together new movies with new video games and new video games with new movies. There were stories about video games grossing more money than movies, and how movies were now being filmed with the video games in mind (including extra footage shot just for the video games). Now, however, just like a good Hollywood marriage, some are wondering if the relationship between video games and Hollywood is on the rocks already. Many gamers are finding that the games that are coming out based on movies aren't particularly original, fun or interesting (sounds like a lot of Hollywood movies as well...). Also, just because either the original movie or video game has a huge following, there's no guarantee that the corresponding video game or movie will be nearly as successful. Of course, at this point, it's unlikely that we're going to see any less of a relationship between the two industries, but at least the honeymoon period appears to be over.

You really can't escape advertising any more. It's absolutely everywhere. While the concept isn't all that new, it appears that the new fascination is on how to advertise within video games ("this frag brought to you by..."). Already, of course, automak ers are huge fans of advertising in videogames. But, what's interesting about Viacom's announcement about their desire to advertise within video games is that it will convince many other companies they need to do the same thing. Of course, if the advertisers are paying for part of the game, shouldn't the games get cheaper for buyers?
