I can only imagine the religous group uprisings and congressional hearings that would follow if schools had CounterStrike or StarCraft teams.
The problem here is that we have unlimited appetites when it comes to violence in tv, movies, sports, etc. God forbid there is violence in video games and it is promoted in schools and gaming centers all over the place, there would be an uprising on the right that would make the Rockstar "scandal" look like a joke...
Ok, Dont know if this has been suggested, but what if the game is free to play until certain level (say 30 of 60). And until that level there is permadeath. Once you get to level 30 there is a means of resurrection (even if there is a minor cost like a level loss, die enough you go down to 29, one more time and uh-oh). They a fee starts kicking in once you get over level 30. I thnik this would even promote community play so people band together and help people get to level 30....
Wow, now we dont need to worry about a draft anymore. We can clone an army of t-rexes and mount remote controlled rocket launchers on them!!...runs to patent office....
