I agree. I don't know what to do about it other than boycott their 'finer gems' and encourage others to do the same, but I agree.Thallianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05906461308866998300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544986590661740950.post-74591788309027873992009-10-28T12:03:35.591-07:002009-10-28T12:03:35.591-07:00Very nice.
I've long stated that the ESRB act...Very nice.<br /><br />I've long stated that the ESRB actively hurts the industry and players by completely misusing the term "Mature". An obsession with nudity and violence are a mark of immaturity, and ultimately actively undermine true maturation, as you rightly note. When the ESRB presents these things as "mature", they suddenly become desirable, and carry a sort of unspoken approval, if not outright recommendation for anyone who seeks to truly "grow up". It's a terribly irresponsible bit of Orwellian marketspeak.<br /><br />Nudity, porn and violence damage their patrons.

I agree with you with your point about...Great post. I agree with you with your point about nudity/sex in video games. In my view the excessive violence and sex in some games is never about making the game more 'mature' rather it is just designed to appeal to the young male masses. People have yet to grasp, it appears, the idea that you can have a mature story without confronting the player blatantly with offensive material. It adds nothing to the game and it will always have a detrimental effect on many players and gaming in general.<br /><br />DA:O from what I have seen of it so far is a massive disappointment to me personally. BG1 and 2 had such a deep, dark and thoroughly enthralling story and had great adventures, and this new game seems to strip that all away to some flashy 'bleh'-nessChappohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08236383885476322791noreply@blogger.com
