EA p*ssed at California game law, it's like telling Spielberg you need 50 movie cuts

The boss of EA has expressed huge concern at the prospect of revisiting California game laws. Mr Riccitiello claims that it is possible that the industry will end up with state level bureaucracies that define what's marketable in 50 different places in the US. He added that it is like telling Spielberg that they need 50 different cuts of his movie for each and every state, therefore it could 'screw us up' in a real way.

A few years ago , i went to universal studios in california. The guy on the tour kart ride thing said they were making a fourth one when we drove by the set of the 2nd one. Im still pissed to this day that he lied to me. I WANT JURASSIC PARK 4!

[iceman2929]

Fuck you man. Jurassic Park is awesome.

[rezzah]

Yea, ive known about the 4 th one for years now, from what ive read, the company that has been trying to get their hands on some Dino DNA is back and they will mutate the DInosaurs. Ever seen the first Juraasic Park movie? Well remember the bottle that got covered in mud that was filled with DNA? Yep they guy who hired the fat guy in the first place works for that company. Now, im not sure how they will force her, but the girl is coming back, and shes being forced to go back to the island to get that very bottle that was coeverd in mud.

What i hagve read makes a lot of sense, so I wont dismis this possibility.

Heh heh.. alright

I will vote against any elected official who has an anti game stance.

[koehler83]

If you disagree, then don't sell your product there. Let the electorate fight your battles for you, if they feel your product is worth their time/money.

[evilmonkey501]

Exactly, then you could just order it from the next state over...eventually you'll piss off enough people to get it changed. I used to live in California till recently (my whole life).I miss California, but I Cant say I miss the California state government.

Each state would have their own censored version.:(

[rezzah]

That because each state works like their own country, in canada the provinces work as one.

[Darkstorn]

Not entirely, but your overall idea is correct. States have much more jurisdiction over internal affairs than do provinces.

[USEYOURFIST]

censors suck

[ElementX]

Everybody is making such a huge deal out of nothing! So some 15yo may not be able to walk into Best Buy and purchase an "M" rated game. That affects you how? All the kid needs is a parent to go with them. If the parents don't want M rated games in their house, the kid should follow their parents rules while living with them.

[Dan50]

AO games are not allowed because they are for 18 and over. This would make M games 18 and over there for banning them the same way as AO games are. Forcing massive censorship equal too or rivaling Germany's censorship.

[Darkstorn]

Incorrect. This bill would do no such thing.

It criminalizes the sale of 'M' games to minors. If you are under 17, this bill is bad. If you are over 17, it means fewer screaming preteens on Xbox Live or PSN.

[kraze07]

Screw censorship of any kind.
