I give you a different point of view. First, I think violence is very prone to cause ludonarrative dissonance in many games (not sure what your problem is with the concept, it has an very simple definition that probably most people using it understand). The thing is, violence in video games...

(answering #54) Not good enough. It seems Valve saw the backlash and are preparing themselves for the potential splash. However, they wont move unless forced, unless people ask them en masse. Journalists need to do their job and put the heat on Valve and EA now and we gamers should start...

People, people, this is the perfect time to force Valve (Steam) and EA (Origin) to do the same. You, journalists, take the telephone right now and ask those companies why we cannot sell and lend our disc-based games on PC!? And people, for Christ sake, stop buying from those companies until they...

Microsoft has been impatient more than anything else. Many of the analyses of what has happened miss the fact that very soon the great majority of games will be sold online. Not only that, I doubt you can have cloud features and streaming with a game unless you tie it irreversibly to your user...

"Wonderize... Pink!" Really!? One female character and it has to be the sexy pink girl!? what century does Platinum Games live in?

Pure falsehood. Do you want to make your games more accessible? Put cheats on them, like it has been done forever. Charging for "advantage DLC" is, plain and simply, a scam. It's making people pay for something that was free before, it's a step backwards and should not be acceptable by anyone.

Wow!, 8 GB of memory, that's a lot! Now, how much storage does it have? I assume 500 GB at this point. Yeah!, one TB is maybe too much yet.

You have not played many games, have you? I'll give you a big hint: horror games.

The problem is the graphicality in the violence, not the amount of it. My opinion is that after the Supreme Court said video games could not be censored, marketing guys have just gone wild.

"That's right, it's virgin versus virgins in a battle to the death." Is it necessary to insult, Mr. Grey Carter?

What country are you talking about, in mine piracy is not illegal.

I don't understand exactly what has this to do with video games. This [http://torrentfreak.com/swiss-govt-downloading-movies-and-music-will-stay-legal-111202/], on the contrary, does have a little bit more to do with games than this article, but, for some reason, I never see TorrentFreak cited...
