In a very full week of gaming news, the Supreme Court shoots down a ban and as Companies and Gamers celebrate, understand this is far from over. This is only the beginning. Another bill is in the works to jail any Gamer streaming gaming content online, but this also stretches out to TV, Music and Movies as well. Square says the demand for an FFVII Remake isn't high enough, Microsoft lies and spies on you via Skype and Sony says they know why they were hack, but they really don't lol!

  • the gaming companys dont want this bill to be passed, its the movie and music company's. the gaming company's know they actually get more sales when a famous gamer puts a video of them playing their games!

  • @TJPProductions

    Even though this is more movies and music, this does indeed go to the games. Especially since the industry is trying to be on par with other levels of entertainment. (as explained in videos about banning violence in games) The companies spend a lot of advertising money to sell their game, they're not worried about a famous gamer pushing their product. (EX: BF3 has an 100 million dollar advertising campaign)

  • Stupid government they still don't realize that it's the parents fault for buying the game for them in the first place and yet films like saw they have no problem with

  • @joshuax298

    I know, right. Movies killing people in the most violent ways is okay. But a game that has shotty graphics influences children to kill? Absolutely stupid.

    Because not everything is about me or you. I care because it's about the gaming community in general, no matter young or old. It's selfish to think just because I'm old enough it's not my problem. I was young when I played MK and Samurai Showdown for the first time at the corner store. Could you image if we had laws back then on this? As a community we stand together, we can't divide or we'll never get anything accomplished.

  • @EventStatus 3 words. "responsible parenting needed"

see all

  • That streaming bill happened because of people streaming wwe and tna ppvs.

  • ONLINE PASS: I bought Mortal Kombat 2011 new. Got home, played it a lot. I got the game on launch day but wasn't interested in playing online just yet. A few days ago, I tried it...the online pass expired. I read the damn card over and over again and found NO mention of the expiration date. I send WB Games a mail complaining about it and they told me that I had to BUY an online pass because the one it box must of been invalid (their mistake). Ah ok, so it doesn't expir...WAIT! WHAT?

  • @cwbyfan88

    I see where you are going with it, not to mention many of these games that are violent, in which the media claims (COD) are also loosely based off actual events. (Wars, etc)

  • @EventStatus I concur with your statement Event, heres the other part of the puzzle which baffles me, we have a 3 way triangle pertaining to this matter and all three points of the triangle can be somewhat hypocritical. parents, game industry, government. lets use for example smackdown vs raw 2011. Yes while violent parents take kids to see wrestling with half nude women and bloody matches. Industry creates game based on this violence...and government gets taxes off gaming. See where im going?

  • @cwbyfan88

    It's sad they treat games that way. It's really not that serious lol. For example, Capcom has lied so much over these previous could of months, instead of being upfront about their projects. What's with all the secrecy? Unless they're hiding something thats bad.

  • wasn't there an issue of game informer number 179 page 34 an interview a year or so back with ceo of eidos bill gardner saying he was absolute there will be a come back? maybe they are working on it in secrecy...after all these gaming companys treat game creations like theyre wmd for a classified government lol
