What? No. I meant relating what the red cross is doing to the comic code authority is a slippery slope. The CCA banned the words "crime", "terror", etc... The ICRC mearly wants humanitarian law recognized in games, rather than ignored entirely. Also, the CCA was mandatory, ICRC is talking to publishers who have the right to refuse. Comparing the two is like saying an ant bite is the same as a snake bite.
According to the ICRC article the quote above is from. Here
Won't this make the games preachy or boring?
"Our intention is not to spoil player's enjoyment by for example, interrupting the game with pop-up messages listing legal provisions or lecturing gamers on the law of armed conflict..."
Therefore, your liking of the ICRC to the CCA is an overreaction.
Perhaps I should rephrase it to "realistic" war simulations? The semantics are irrelevant, I'm trying to aptly describe games based on real world conflicts based in past, present, or realistic near futures.
but "required" is what they implied when they suggested government regulation. On the bright side though, that was from almost two years ago and there is no mention of it in the more recent article.
The ICRC is actually only pushing this for "real-war" simulations. I don't think Madworld is very realistic, as much as I'd love my own chainsaw gauntlet.
Though I don't agree with the whole lobbying congress to make it law thing, I think it could work for some games. As long as the developers are ok with it, adding war crime laws to video games could be educational and add to the realism.
Well if you consider it'll probably take the FBI a couple years to release the info anyway it's only about 70k a year! Standard salary for a government worker isn't it?
I SWEAR I'M NOT TROLLING MY CAPS LOCK IS JUST BROKEN! WITH THAT SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THEY'VE SHUT DOWN THE COMMENTS SECTION OF THAT ARTICLE ON KSL.COM PERHAPS THEY HAD TOO MANY TROLLS?
I think he meant if he saw it and couldn't tell if it was a toy. Which could happen on the non clear-plastic guns if the orange tip is obscured or fallen off.
I think "impulsive" narcissism can be ruled out. I'm not saying narcissism has absolutely zero to do with it. But Snowden joined the NSA because he was planning to find and release info on NSA's abuses if they existed, so it was anything but the impulsive nature of any ordinary disgruntled NSA employee.
