Chuck E Cheese supports violence!

A Chuck E Cheese near me was just denied its license to have video game machines because some of the games were violent. That's right... so to all of you that have a local restaraunt, mall, or possibly even school that has Time Crisis, Soul Calibur, Tekken, DOA, or any other violent game... go play the crap out of it!

Pretty soon this will be precendence, and all we'll ever have in arcades is DDR: Extreme 9004, Whack-a-mole and those stupid skii-ball machines that suck unless you walk right up and throw all the balls in the 1,000 point hole.

So now that video games are getting banned for sexual content (even if it isn't accesible without modding the game/console [San Andreas]) editing out swear words (Rock Band... which would be much better if we could include bands like Manson, Godsmack, Disturbed, KoRn, Bizkit, Guns N Roses, Ozzy, Nazareth, Buck Cherry, or any other friggin Rock Band worth a crap.) and banning violence. Well what the hell does that leave us with? Real life? We can all just play the sims and be as bored while playing that as we are with our normal mundane crap lives.

Yay for a prude society ruled by over-protective parents and easily-offfended christian hypocrits!

Actually, I don't give a rats ass about this. I hate all Chuck E Cheeses with a passion.

Besides, Chuck E Cheese is strictly a kids joint, so I wouldn't expect violent arcade games to be there in the first place. It's not as if legitimate arcades are being closed down for this kind of thing (if that was the case, I would have handcuffed myself to the doors of town hall faster than you could say "beep beep.")

Whack-a-Mole is a horrifying depiction of animal cruelty.

I'm not actually surprised.

Most businesses care more about money than what Joe Teenager is playing in the arcade. They find the machine that earns them the most quarters/staying power (for the patron buying drinks or snacks or whatever) and stick to it. Whether that's House of the Dead 3 with shotgun controllers or DDR, it doesn't matter. If the violent video games make them money, they'll put it in there.

getting banned for sexual content

San Andreas wasn't banned. I can go pick it up in my local GAME retailer for a tenner.

editing out swear words

Appealing to a larger audience. Ommitting swear words means they can tune down the rating on their gamebox which means they can get more sales. Nothing to do with being coerced by

over-protective parents and easily-offfended christian hypocrits!

Finally:

banning violence.

Have you seen the September-Christmas lineup of video games coming out? Banning violence? I hope to Freya this is a troll post and you're not actually this Odin-be-damned stupid.

It's really because the vast majority see video games as children's playthings. That, and Chuck E Cheese is a kids place so having kid friendly games would definitely be a plus.

Hell, I could care less about chucky cheeses problems. Show me some better pizza, then you'll get my sympathy.

There is always Dave and busters, I don't know if there is one near you but imagine Chuck e cheese only it serves Beer and kids aren't allowed.

Ever play Ski ball drunk? Yeah exactly.

Manson is in Rock Band as DLC. Guns N Roses has a full album as DLC. Ozzy has some Sabbath songs as DLC.

All I remember playing at Chuck-E-Cheese when I was a kid was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles- oh no, I've been corrupted! Seriously though, this is sad. Its the parent's job to moniter the child whilst he/she is in a busy arcade, not the government's. A Chuck-E-Cheese without an arcade is pretty much like a dog after its been "fixed". Besides, if the "action-packed shooter game" were House of the Dead, well that baby is educational [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Typing_of_the_Dead]!

P.S. Is this in Canada or the U.S.? I'm just curious, and I think its Canada, but I'm not quite sure.

So it's like Pizza Hut except more shite? Wonderful. Thankfully it seems to be an American only chain and I don't have to deal with it.

Well Pizza Hut typically doesn't have arcade games, except for maybe a Pac-Man or Space Invader's machine, but yes, the pizza is shitty.
