You can't legislate morality. Hasn't ever worked in the past. The problem isn't the game, its the people. How do you tell the difference between boys and adults that know a game is escapism and the few that will take it as serious or real life, being unable to tell the difference? Answer that and you may well answer the problem. Seems every generation or so there is this new thing that they want to control. It was comic books I remember as being the bad influance. I mean here were characters hitting and beating up on people, shooting guns, robbing banks, heck you name. Funny it taught me to read. I never felt I was able to flying from high buildings, or that I could get away with a robbery, or even that I wanted to go be a social cure-all and catch the bad guy on my own. Nor did I feel that I could scheme up some plan that would hatch problems for others. Maybe the last sounds more familar with the music industry. Seems misguided to me. You can’t legislate morality.
