to Cnet about games

Cooper’s article basically is saying game developers (publishers and their shareholders) aren’t listening to lawmakers in washington (well, christian lobbyists really).

He’s TRYing to say that game makers aren’t listening to We The People, but anyone who knows how D.C. works also knows that very rarely do the needs and desires of The People get put first. What this is slanted opinion piece is doing in a News section, I have no idea. He’s taking sides with the moral elitists and doing very little reporting… BAD journalist!

So, in this battle between a small cabal of shareholders seeking infinite profits and a small cabal of neo-christians seeking a Stepford Wives society, you’re never going to have a truce when the subject at hand is what the general public is going to purchase or consume.. regardless of whether it’s something they really want, or the plethora of products that appeal to the ‘must look at the car crash’ instinct.

The real conflicts, issues, and potential dialog of this matter are almost completely outside of everything Cooper just wrote. Obviously Cooper doesn’t get it and surely, he can do better.
