ZippyDSMlee: Boyycotting only works when sheeple care, the masses have to want to care about subtleties, in general they do not thus why corporate gets as far as it does. However boycotting can raise a fuss and the bad PR might make them take note.

AM: @GP: Boycott is unlikely to be effective due to how few people would be aware/participate. That said, I boycott EA over their "3 installs then buy another copy" copy protection, so I can't say it's NOT a good idea.

GryphonOsiris: @Scribe, just read that. The reports are saying that is was a targeted killing. Odds are a bully, gang related or something.

gamepolitics: is a gamer boycott of atari, codemasters, topware and the other 2 UK firms who are extorting file-sharers a good idea?

scribe999: Another school shooting...this time in Tennessee. Terrible news. And I'm sure there's much hyperbole to follow.

Hey Mccullaugh,
After reading you article on Mass Effect I felt embarrassed for you. You obviously do not understand the gaming industy. They have a system in place to help parents make decisions on what types of games that they should let their children play (ESRB). Mass Effect has a rating of "M" for Mature audiences. This means that children under the age of 17 are not the recomended audience. Now, what you propose is that we take parental control out of the hands of parents and put it into the hands of the government/corperations and let them make the decisions that parents should be making. This is not the solution. If you personaly know of a fifteen year old playing this game, maybe you should talk to the parents of this child and see why they feel that this is ok. Why don't you spend your time and resources to be the number one spokes person for children who smoke since tobacco is way more serious to a young persons health then video games will ever be?
