Opinion: How will Project 2025 impact game developers?
The Heritage Foundation's manifesto for the possible next administration could do great harm to many, including large portions of the game development community.
The trouble is. We are the dictionary definition of stupid. We as a industry cannot seem to learn from previous experiences. This doesn't help when we are Dr. Frankenstein dealing with our own creation.
As the summary sates, and as the title states. This is not about the violence I'm waiting for some more inconclusive government studies.
I think we need to trace the problem to the source.
And the source of the problem is a tricky one. It's all about Bias.
The thing is on the internet it's impossible to convince some one otherwise.
This is because of their Bias. Bias is not a bad thing, it's one of the things that (IMO) seems to determine your personalty and who you are as an individual. Your biases are as simple a I do not like that and I do like that.
Now, in pretaining to children and violent video games, I'd like to litterally trace the problem to the source.
Violent VGs are not the problem, like any drug, it's the dealer. No, not the litteral dealer, just the source. It's not the factory, or the developer's fault. It's not the actual retailer.
It's the consumers. The kids who's videogames were destroyed recently, I can only imagine where on earth they got them.
I can only imagine why.
Sure, there's a lot of bad egg parents out there, who know what they're buying and buy it any way. But these people are probably the kind of people who wuld buy their kids a Rated Bluray/dvd anyway and thus are moot and irelevant.
Plus they're probably like a 0.005% of any AAA fps's sales anyway so agian. Leave them alone they're irelevant, they wish they were relevant but they're not.
The reall damage is comming from a higher percentage.
The reall damage is comming from the fact we treat the gullible parent as a demographic to market to and it works and we'd probably loose around a few million dollar$ if kids did not want our AAA FPSes and parent did not buy them.
Let me explain why these parent's are pissed. They've been tricked.
