October Meeting Recap
Hello Everyone,
Some of you have probably been waiting on the recap of the October meeting, so here it is! Our meeting went very well, this time we had nothing but new people attend and man it was a blast. I had the pleasure of finally meeting Mike Legg from Petroglyph Games, Jill Zinner from Premier Search, and many other new people. Our topic for the night was “Censorship in games, where do we draw the line and who is responsible.” Through-out the discussion many points were brought up, some members suggested that the developers have a social and moral responsibility to make good games that don’t involve over the top violence. Other members said it was the parents, retailers, or even the ESRB. After much discussion on the topic I think we all came to agree that it was probably a combination of all these things, but we also have to accept the fact that the gaming industry is this decades taboo. All in all the meeting went extremely well and I hope to see many of those new faces again.
See you all at the next meeting,
Mike
