Sabre Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Yay or nay? In 2007 America experienced a mini baby boom. now it's 2011 and those babies are learning to pick up a controler. Because of this many companies are self consoring, claiming we should think of the children. Most don't come out and say it, but given how 18 rated games market to kids anyway (Im told there is no law stopping kids from buying 18 games in the US) and the fact 18 rated games tend to do better I doubt they are doing it for sales. A perfect example of what I'm talking about is the id game Rage, which is not having any blood despite what they trailers show. It's not just blood and gore. Recently Double Fine, makers of mentally challenging games like Psyconaughts and Grim Fandango as well as the gore fest Brutal Legends has recently been churning out 'kiddie' games like costume quest and the up coming seseame street game. I'm strongly against this. Theres nothing wrong with kid friendly, but consorship, self imposed or otherwise, is bad imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Major spelling error here. CENSORSHIP So, yeah, I don't really care. I can find a way to get uncensored games and stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballisticwaffles Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Economically, your position would cost the companies money. Think about it. If an Entire group of people are ignored by an industry, then your not making any money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
