I imagine the issue of videogame violence and the media must be a hot button issue for you for this statement to trigger such a reaction.

It is a bit of a hot button issue for me, because making games still is my livelihood.
And things are getting a bit silly! Ohio spent millions from their healthcare budget defending an anti-game law that they
knew would be shot down in court. Germany is considering laws that will make the development of video games that include violence a crime.
That's just sooo wrong! I really don't like the idea of being thrown in jail for having worked on a game that allows you to shoot a few bad guys...
I'm hoping that everyone will come to their senses on this eventually... in the meantime I feel compelled to set the story straight when there's talk of a link between video games and real world violence.
