CheapyD over at Cheap Ass Gamer cuts to the chase with his editorial, How Rockstar Screwed Us and Why Jack Thompson is Right, and it is on the money. Rockstar’s crisis PR amateur hour did wonders to the public image of gaming and will very likely exact a toll on the industry as a whole. If not through legislation it will very likely that publishers will think twice about developing edgy games and will sink further into risk averse business practices. As if endless sequels aren’t bad enough it is likely that content will be sanitized for our controversy phobic culture. Videogames will join ranks with all the other empty and meaningless media in our nation like TV and newspapers. Thanks again, Rockstar. You suck.
