Is the Game Media Being Oblivious?

MaryAlan writes "The National Summit on Video Games, Youth, and Public Policy was this weekend, and almost no one from the game media showed up. In fact, the game industry seems to pretty much be ignoring the whole event. There's an article up on GamesFirst, which attended the summit, that criticizes the mainstream game press pretty hard for not attending. Apparently only one game journalist showed up. From the article: 'The video game media owes it to our readers to come to events like this and listen, come here and think, and come here and base our editorials on the reality of what's being said instead of an interpretation of the talking points that are published afterwords. Too many of the people discussing these issues in forums do so based on the works of the game media, and too few in the gaming media are spending the time to make it justified.'"

Hey asshat (god I like that expression), name one. It would be nice to know so we could boot "the bastard" out of office.

In fact, other than your desire to express your hatred of... "the right-wing" - (with the ominous, da da da dum), it is the entire Alaskan congregation that is to blame. State and Federal, Republican and Democrat, all bend over for oil - or have you forgotten that Tony never collected the taxes from the Oil companies that were owed under his administration?

The BP exec specifically said that NO laws required them to conduct a pig check of the pipeline, so they didn't. No specific corruption, just general malfeasance.

Nice try on the partisan dig, though.
