Video Game Scandals Are Boring

Posted by Zonk on Thursday July 21, 2005 @01:07AM from the here-here dept.

The Guardian Gamesblog has an editorial up registering the author's frustration with VG-related scandals. From the article: "No matter who weighs into the arguments, however, be it Hilary Clinton or the latest pious whining superstar of the American Religious Right, one fact remains: the videogames industry just can't do scandal. Let's face it, a few laughable scenes of polygonal coupling does not a Watergate make. Even the troubled relationship between Jude 'mind-blowing in bed' Law and Sienna 'pictured without engagement ring' Miller is more interesting than this limp tale of adolescent sex fantasy, Christian self-righteousness and coding."

Here is what Rockstar did:
... 3) Publish hack after game is on shelves
Rockstar did not publish any hacks or patches to open up the sex game. Game modders poking around in the code found it and released a patch for unlocking it.
