MODERATORS
I think this kind of content warnings kind of makes sense for children’s television. But these are games primarily targeted towards adults. We’re able to form our own opinion.
I've been an adult for a little while now and I can confirm: Adults don't exist. We're all children with various levels of impulse control. But it is frustrating when you feel like you're being treated like a child. The reason I learned not to repeat swear words on TV wasn't because they took all the swear words out. It's because I repeated them, got in trouble, and learned my lesson. So, I'm not against it, but it shouldn't be news worthy that someone chose not to butcher prior art.
Fuck me I sound like I'm 60.
Uhhhhh I first played Sons of Liberty when I was like 12 lol. Video games can and will be played by children.
They can, but MGS2 is rated M as far as I can tell.
Isn’t a warning good for that, though?
A warning helps you make an informed decision.
