Where Politics And Video Games Collide

You know, with the exception of Experiance points in RPG's like Mass Effect and Final Fantasy, and the point system in the Meta Game for Halo 3, I can't recall any major, non-puzzle based game in the last 10 years that seriously used 'points' as a reward, except the Ace Combat series, but that's an arcade stlye flight simulator.

These groups are stuck in 1984 where games were Pac-man and Donkey Kong and were about as deep as Steam Boat Willie. It would be like people complaining about Casablanca because it had alcohol, shootings and Nazi's in it, saying that it glamourized them. The fact of the matter is these people still think video games are the Original NES and think that everything for them should be child friendly, about a deep as a thin crust pizza, and as mindless as your average sitcom.

By that token then we should only have silent films, The Honeymooers on TV, and Perry Como on the radio. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the censorship that they want to impose to at it's heart bornout of ignorance and fear; two things that almost always lead to tolitarianism. If people start saying that they want it there way or not at all then they will only except victory, even a phyrric one.
