Playing on the Wii seems like an odd choice for someone who's opposed to mature rated games and is planning on locking down the internet. I mean, fitting, yes, but helpful? It's like inspecting a vegan kitchen to find the best way to clean cheese stains. The console has few mature titles and minimal, though highly restrictive, internet connectivity within games. I'm not bashing the Wii, I'm a proud owner, but that's the reality of the situation.Aedrial said:
Bottom line: That's not how you get in touch with the issue.
"WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN..."
Seems that is ALL people do! I, for one, am sick and tired of doing "this" and "that" for "children."
When do ADULTS get a little attention? Especially SINGLE adults! We pay MORE in taxes for this luxury of being "single" yet have little say in what is "created" for us. Then when there IS something made, a government like that in Austrailia comes along to usurp it.
Talk about safe sex! At least Second Life doesn't have to sell condoms nor have clinics for those who begin to suffer from sexually transmitted diseases.
Parents, WHEN are you going to talk with your "children" so that they know that the word punishment actually means what it implies? WHEN are we going to "restrict" children rather than make more laws restricting ADULTS?
I am most definately thinking of the children because it is the fault of the parents and not the governments when these mischievious rug rats go beyond their limits and enter the adult ones. Hmmm...parents "banning" their children from playing Second Life...what an interesting concept.

Sorry bout the quote wall, but unofficial mods like that on games that have already met the ratings boards standards don't count. Online games cannot be rated for content apparently thus making them technically illegal.The Rockerfly said:
At one stage they were thinking of stopping the sales of WoW and GW in shops because of this.
That's OK, then. As long as you don't care.Sharpeye42 said:
Will you give a shit when it's too late and you lose something you do want to play?
This isn't about games, this is about civil liberties.
Stand up now or it will be too late.
I raised this question before and now I can say: HAHA told you so!ThrobbingEgo said:
The question I raised was simple - if given the choice of testing the engine on it's own merits or using user created content that our government would go for the later and rate based on user content. As this article pointed out, you give us the way to make porn with a engine and we will make porn, every online game out there will have a uphill battle pass the rating tests. SL was first cause it was the most easiest to target, as user created content is a backbone of this online program and it has a smaller legal team and client base then most online games. Others WILL become targeted based on user interactions and content, which means ALL online games will fail the M15+ or below rating. Simply because all it would take is one user posting one link to some sort of porn site and suddenly you have nudity added to your rates.
First they came for SL and I said nothing cause I don't use SL....
