Where Politics And Video Games Collide

//Why do people always only mention games like Oblivion when they talk about games that are very big? How about every single MMO out there?//

That's because Oblivion usually sucks up weeks-worth of hours VERY easily thanks to the massive amount of things shoved into it. Wheater or not it's any good is up to the individual that plays it, but it's agreeable that the company that made Oblivion usually crams in anything and everything possible in their games.


Along with a couple other people, I do think that this is an attempt to shut down the ESRB and to pass a scapegoat for people who play violent video games. The ESRB can only go with what they're told, and so it's up to the developers to make a demo or video showing off anything that is appart of the ratings system. If a violent video game had only pictures and demos of happy little birdys and flowers, and it's only released does everyone find out that it's bloody and gorey, then it isn't the ESRB's fault since they were only showed the "nicer" parts of it. One of the reasons why the Hot Coffee thing made such a boom, it was the first example in history to have an easter egg like that built into the game where the ESRB wasn't notified of it.
