..and quite rightly so. Everyone’s having a pop at Mass Effect lately which wouldn’t be so bad but for the fact that the majority of things the mainstream media are ‘reporting’ on is complete and utter BS.
Latest to take a swing at the game is FOX News, spewing more false claims and citing ‘experts’ that have never even played the game.
Circulating blogs today is a copy of a letter sent from EA to FOX asking for corrections to be made.. The part I find most interesting is EA’s implication that as games take more viewers away from the TV and ratings take a hit, mainstream media is more likely to attempt to paint gaming in a negative light in some vain attempt to pull ratings back..
As video games continue to take audiences away from television, we expect to see more TV news stories warning parents about the corrupting influence of interactive entertainment. But this represents a new level of recklessness.
Do you watch the Fox Network? Do you watch Family Guy? Have you ever seen The OC? Do you think the sexual situations in Mass Effect are any more graphic than scenes routinely aired on those shows? Do you honestly believe that young people have more exposure to Mass Effect than to those prime time shows?
This is very interesting to me as its a theory I have entertained for some time now.. The OC inclusion is genius. That show has more sexual content that Mass Effect and is widely available to people under 17. Pot/Kettle/Black
Really hope EA get somewhere with this…
