Won't make news they said.
Politics always needs something to bitch about. Do you see how many people raise the thought how violence, murder, rape, and all the common shit is blamed on video games? Sure it was a lot back then, but people don't see the fact that if you're that stupid enough to think it's okay to kill, rape, or even assault people just because you play a game, then you need to go into a damn asylum. Personally... i like playing games with violence, and violence i do... very well... but i'm not someone who goes about on a killing spree.
Besides, if anyone wants to yell about something, sooner or later, they're gonna yell at Dwarf Fortress with it's "unique... things". Being able to eat brains, perform cannibalism, and even be so invincible, you can completely cause a mass genocide on the entire world, and still continue to hold on. And as i said, sooner or later, some ass is gonna start to push it out.
Sorry for all the cursing, but i wanted to state my opinion in my own way, then try to be perfectly polite. Besides... thats what american freedom is all about anyways.
Personally, i wanna see how this game plays out. Hell, i'd even want to play it myself. But does people need to bash games just because of the things they're based upon? They're game, simulated, and unsimulated things about life, fantasy, or even sci-fi. The main function people play the games for is enjoyment... and to relieve their boredom. But when it comes to you performing murder, or even rape outside because you "thought it was cool" when playing a game, thats when you know you need help.
So yeah, if politics want to yell about something, it's the people who think it's "cool" when it happens in a game, not the games themselves
