GameZone - Are Warzones Acceptable in Videogames?
But is it acceptable for a game to recreate an ongoing warzone? The question hasn’t really been raised before the Medal of Honor controversy, but has gained a significant amount of discussion within the last couple of weeks with the bombshell that players can play as the Taliban in MoH. Many consider it in poor taste that players can take on the role of the Taliban and kill American soldiers. Plenty of voices have spoken; you know it’s a full-on controversy when Fox News get involved to deliver their opinions on the matter.

GameZone - Post Release Support - A Developers Obligation?
A recent offender in post-launch support, and one that affected me personally, LEGO: Harry Potter, from Traveler’s Tales. It is a charming game, with a vicious game-breaking bug, via a gold brick that doesn’t generate properly near the end. The issue is unfixable, and requires you to start a new game in order to finish, hoping of course, the same thing doesn’t happen again. My poor girlfriend spent well over 20 hours on LEGO: Harry Potter, reached 99-percent completion, and realized her game could never be completed. It’s now been nearly two months since the game’s release, and there’s still no patch to fix problem. Considering that the game cost £40, is it too much to ask that it at least be finished?
