Another key point about Google Games and Violence
An important point is that whether or not violence and other horrific
"shocking" contents in games actually influence real world behavior
isn't the issue here, though I increasingly find some entries in the
category of horribly violent "first person shooter" games to be under
suspicion as a contributing factor in some cases.
The point is that there is bipartisan anger at these kinds of game
contents, and by making this change now Google is INVITING more of
exactly the kind of regulatory and legal actions that one would
ASSUME they wanted to avoid.
It's just not logical, unless upping the game profit center "any damned
way you can!" is the order coming down from the C-suite. -L
