Maybe I’m getting older and starting to look beyond the mindset that told me running with scissors was Ok. Maybe it’s the fact that I have teen daughters and I’m thinking about their future. Maybe it’s just the fact that games, for lack of new content ideas, are starting to glamorize the wrong elements of our society without presenting consequences for actions.

No, I’m not the voice of the moral minority, but I do think there is a moral obligation on the parts of developers to present illicit behavior for what it is, and not try to make it glamorous and desirable.

I'm with you aceinet. As a faceless conglomerate of corporations, trying to make the video game industry wear a label of morality and ethics seems like an exercise in futility (almost like trying to define the "lap" as a body part). Movies and books have been glamourising and demonising drugs and violence for years now, but no one has tried to call them to task for being irresponsible (at least not in a good long while). We all need to take a step back and realise that the problem is a lot more close to home than any of us would care to think, and parents need to make the ultimate call on what is appropriate for their kids. Anyway, that's just my thoughts on it
