Courts Look To Resolve Violent Game Issue

DS-x2.com writes "

Using the upcoming Wii title "Mad World" as an example, legislators and gamer groups are taking their figurative chainsaws to one another.

A 2005 California state law barred the sale of violent games to minors, a law many thought violated the First Amendment of the Constitution. California is attempting to revive its "anti-violent-video-game law" in federal court. The U.S. Court of Appeals will review a 2007 ruling that found the law was indeed unconstitutional."

Here's a crazy thought;

MONITOR WHAT THE F**K YOUR KIDS PLAY!!

ChickeyCantor6417d ago

Although i agree, but lets be honest here.
You would scream at your parents if they were MONITORING you :D xD

TheDeadMetalhead6417d ago (Edited 6417d ago )

You know what I meant! XD

If you don't think a game's right for your kid, don't buy it! You don't have to go cry about it and get the game banned. There's even a bloody parental lock on the Wii just for games like Mad World!

I want to laugh at their stupidity. But at the same time, I'm disappointed in the human race, lol.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit22d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing22d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9222d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
