Naughty Bear with Scandals in Switzerland because of its trivialization

The most read Swiss Newspaper ''20 minutes'' Expresses Outrage at Naughty Bear.

The Game is not only at the headlines, it's also an ''perfidious camouflaged organization for killing sprees. A kid could easily recognize himself in this game.'' - more through the link.

LOL

[germandude]

haha so cool, but i think PEGI has done the right!

[Tailor-DKS]

today a kid is able to buy call of duty.. where is the problem?

[NExaminer]

My thoughts exactly. In the end, it's just a video game though; I think some people read too much into the overall theme.

[Spenok]

All to often.

[Cecker]

Now the game is interesting :D

[lzim]

but not any more play worthy.

[germandude]

@dks: jep, the publishers are not really interested to the ratings... money is more important than human life!!!!

[Sneak-Out]

word

[lzim]

this isn't fair, it is an issue of business not morals for distributors.

do gun distributors care if their guns are aimed at and fire bullets at innocent civilians?

the game isn't harmful to human life, even if it lakes in good sense and taste, that the game is available to impressionable children through lax ratings and retails who don't care about ratings regardless, is the problem.

Parents are the other half of this problem and aren't yet mentioned as being the pervayors of these mature games to children.

couldn't have said it better myself...but I was gonna try! *LOL*

[Rocket Sauce]

Awesome, free advertising!

[danielle007]

could at least see themselves in a better game.

Have standards. Here in America, the children imitate GTA and COD and Halo, all with a metacritic of 9 or above, and that's how they get on the news. Gangstas..

[lzim]

like what Sim City 5? or other edutainment career building games? there's apparently no market for that.

the games in NA immitate the movies, television and lives of their audience.

[Monkeyboy]

If they bothered to play the game they'd know that kids would be bored with it in under 30 minutes.

[lzim]

massive agree +bubbles.

but worse is when kids and moron adults get hooked on these types of games and lose themselves, as the Swiss worry.

[bjornbear]

at least thats the impression i've had from them -_-

still, good advert =P i can see kids seeing this image on news paper and asking parents to buy the game =D

[Darkstorn]

Eh. They've got their conservative streaks (banning minarets) and they have a high ratio of gun ownership (only because they are required by law to own weapons because all able males are automatically members of the national guard).

However, they have many progressive urban renewal policies and are one of the greenest nations on the planet. I think the issue here is that they aren't into games as much as the rest of Western Europe.

[grailly]

wow, you look like you know alot about switzerland!

we have a high rate of gun ownership, but we actually never use them, I can recall only one murder being done with one of our military weapons(also, we don't have ammo)

the problem is that we have a lot of old ( stupid,racist, stuborn...) people that form the majority of the population(or voting population at least). that's why switzerland is seen as a conservative country. Most of the young population was outrage by the minaret scandal(also I live in the swiss-french par, we are less conservative)

[fredfenster]

Shitzerland is a lame country, almost everything about it sucks.

[Darkstorn]

You should VISIT THE COUNTRY before making such far-reaching (and stupid) statements.

When an American periodical criticizes our medium do all the Europeans get up in arms and declare the U.S. a 'lame' country? I think not (although we Americans are lame in many respects).

[djfullshred]

These kinds of comments aren't even worth dignifying with a response. Lonely trolls that sit in their room trying to get a reaction from people on the Net probably have seen very little of their own country, let alone been to other countries.

[fredfenster]

I've been there many times, and I know about their way of politics et cetera, and I dislike it. I wasn't talking about the ski resorts though, nothing wrong with that.

[grailly]

I can't believe you just said that XD
many things suck about switzerland(and yes our relation with video-games is completely stupid), but you can't just say call my country shitzerland lol.

[djfullshred]

haha, sounds like great advertising to make kids want to buy the game. Funny how people that make these complaints always help sell a game that a lot of people didn't know about until seeing the article.
