We watched a documentary which was talking about ratings and also just because you can design a completely violent game should you. My thoughts is that violence in video games isn't bad if it is used tastefully such as hitman series since some of the violence is bad since the objective is to kill your target but it is done more tastefully than say manhunt which is an appalling game.
Violence has been used to make you hate a character since the dawn of story telling so i don't see why a new form of media gets so much trouble for it when you have horror movies that should just be called gore movies.
One point that they brought up that i agree with is that if a person plays a game and says it encourages them to kill i think there is a psychological problem with that person even if he didn't play games i mean hell do you see someone on TV go i want to wrap people in a ball like Katamari when asked why he murdered people no he just wants something to blame so it doesn't lay on his conscience.
Recently kids have become immune to violence and they blame designers but like one of the people said it's not the developers that are wrong it is the parents that allow them to play it which needs to stop blaming someone else and look more into how they raised their kids
This topic i think will keep going just because we are a new media in the industry so it is a bit of pick on the new guy so we will keep getting this abuse till we all agree on something that is beneficial to all.
