Way of the Mind

Apparently, a jury in Alabama, U.S., was somehow sane and didn’t buy into a cop killer’s “video games made me do it!” excuse.

But a certain ambulance-chasing parasite still plans to steal money from the entertainment industry while perpetuating a world in which no teenager or parent is responsible for their actions. Oh, and a world where rendered violence is worse than real thing, and a pixelated nipple is worse than the Apocalypse.

It amazes me that gaming companies feel so threatened by the current state of affairs that they don’t do the right thing: sue that bastard into oblivion for libel and extortion. Aren’t they aware that, unless they do something about it (and no, putting an end to mature games and thus restricting the media to young children isn’t the right idea), the extortion attempts will not only continue but increase?
