British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has commented further on statements made earlier in the week, over proposed banning of supposed violent games.
In that statement Mr Brown has ruled out any plans to introduce censor the video games industry
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
The only thing I hope is that this supposed panel of "Experts" is balanced and not made up of people that have never seen a video game never mind played one.
Education for parents is more important than simply blaming games that already have there own rating system in the UK.
Last month David Cameron said that violent video games were bad, the month before he said he would support the video game industry and now Gordon Brown says he won't censor video games. I think that means everyone should now vote for Labour not Conservatives so we can play manhunt. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Politics!
It's almost election time, so video games are latest buzzword so everyone jumps on the bandwagon.
Glad to hear there is a videogame friendly party. I will vote Labour then, as usual. I was thinking of voting Lib Dem this time, since both Labour and Conservative parties had talked about banning videogames.
censoring and ratings that don't make much sense are just the worst thing that can happen to games. adults play games and deserve to have whatever content they want in their games barring some illegal content (say kiddie porn).. so if esrb or whoever wants to rate games for adults only don't ban the games and don't just decide to not approve them for your systems.
