Electronic Arts Slams Sims
2 Paedophile Claims on SPOnG.com (thanks Mike Martinez) has the response from EA
about recent claims (story) of improper content in The Sims 2:
“This is nonsense,” said Jeff Brown, spokesman for EA. “Reasonable people understand there is nothing improper in the game. Reasonable people recognise what mods are. A consumer who chooses to use a mod does so without any kind of agreement with the company. There is no nudity. There is nothing improper or vulgar in the Sims 2.”
Brown continued, “Reasonable people understand the San Jose Mercury News is not responsible for vulgar things that people doodle into the margins of the paper.”
This reminds me of the whole Janet Jackson "funbag incident". Soon as that happened the fundamentalist christians started attacking all media. TV shows started editing out content, Howard Stern ended up signing with Sirius, etc. Should be interesting too see what the impact of this is, if any.
And for the record, I am split on what to think about GTA:SA. On one hand, I think it was retarded of Rockstar to leave content like that on the shipping media, buton the other hand the dumbshit kid violated the EULA.
For the most part, Rockstar screwed up. In this day and age where people are just BEGGING to lynch game companies, they should have been smarter than this. You KNOW someone at Rockstar knew this would be found, and a mod would unlock it.

Can we have a real space program please? One that doesn't require pyrotechnics would be great.

He cut the possum's face off then cut around the eye socket. In the center of the belt buckle, where the possum's eye would be, he has placed a small piece of wood from his old '52 Ford's home made railroad tie bumper. Damn, he misses that truck.
