So was Roosevelt wrong just because a passage of time has occured? - "Dec. 7th, a day that will live in Infamy." - is Hitler or Stalin or whoever any less evil just because it happened long ago and we forget?

Hey, O.J. was years ago too, so let's make a cut-a-womans-throat-from-ear-to-ear sim!
Which brings up another point, why hasn't someone snuffed OJ yet? the Noto points alone would be worth it.

And What If... a developer made a 9/11 sim where you could play both sides... and then that developer had his children murdered in revenge. Would it be "wrong" for another developer to come along later and include that child-murder scenario in His game?

and why hasn't someone come along and made an African Mutilation game where you play various tribal warlords and cut off opposing factions childrens arms and legs? cmon guys it's all just a game right? right??

alas and alack, iAnonymity prevents us from knowing who the various posters work for, though BRM does indeed sound like a salaried employee of the company/product in question.

bah, those billions will be pissed away and end up in the swiss bank accounts of african dictators and 3rd world "Save! The! Children!" hucksters.

Meanwhile people are starving and homeless right here in the states.

MMOs - the last bastion of hardcore gaming to resist pandering to the masses of casual sheep!

Namco Bandai Holdings Inc. the maker of Ridge Racer 7 and other Sony PS3 games says that they need to ship 500,000 games to break-even on the title.

it's sad that once again Money trumps common sense

and the will of citizens.

yup just more Corporate boilerplate BS.
The suits that run EA couldn't install and run one of their own games if their lives and stock options depended on it.

What it really means is that the Mass Market is a bunch of brain dead sheep who'll buy any piece of shyt that's correctly hyped to their level of moron-icity.

Atari Landfill
That has almost become an equal to the Roswell crash in terms of hearsay.

and it started quite early on, i was working at Atari as a technician in the early 80's and even then people in the company would mention it as an example of what was wrong with Atari. One guy would know for sure if there is such a dump - Chris Crawford - former Atari VCS genius game programmer and looney eccentric now living in oregon or washington with his llamas... but he might intentionally lie just to mess with people's heads.

Clearly this REALLY IS an example of Intelligent Design!
