[News]The Fox News Debacle: TechSavvy Update
Source
Quote:
Here’s an update to my investigating the story Fox News printed in which they astonishingly suggested that Bulletstorm would cause rape. Scott Steinberg, CEO of TechSavvy Global, and all-round industry guru, got in touch with me to show me the answers he submitted to Fox when they approached him for comment. The full answers are reproduced below, because what results is a fantastic interview on the subject of adult game content and regulation.
Fox chose to use none of Steinberg’s comments in their final piece, opting instead for the more sensational claims of those with no expertise in the subject (neither of whom have found time to reply to our emails). But seeing these answers also provides further insight into how the mainstream media coverage of gaming stories works. Far from being a reporter ignorant of the subject and twisted by naive contributors, Fox correspondent John Brandon was equipped with a wealth of factual information and informed opinion before composing his frantic article. The below, combined with our previously reported unedited response from M2 Research’s Billy Pidgeon, show quite how determined the final story was to ignore the facts in favour of scaring its readers.

Im growing rather tired of all this crap video games are getting because of violence the past few years. The problem? This country as a whole is getting weak and too politically correct. Everyone is afraid of hurting someones feelings. Oh and...
I'll end this whole debate about violent video games for the whole world. Be the parent you're supposed to be when you chose to have a kid. Worried about violence in video games, WELL STOP EFFIN BUYING THEM FOR YOUR KIDS THAN! DUH!
