Is the Game Media Being Oblivious?
from Slashdot by ScuttleMonkey
MaryAlan writes "The National Summit on Video Games, Youth, and Public Policy was this weekend, and almost no one from the game media showed up.

There's an article up on GamesFirst, which attended the summit, that criticizes the mainstream game press pretty hard for not attending. Apparently only one game journalist showed up. From the article: 'The video game media owes it to our readers to come to events like this and listen, come here and think, and come here and base our editorials on the reality of what's being said instead of an interpretation of the talking points that are published afterwords. Too many of the people discussing these issues in forums do so based on the works of the game media, and too few in the gaming media are spending the time to make it justified.'"

The rating system that's supposed to protect children from violent, sexually explicit video games doesn't work, U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum said Friday. "The rating system we have now is funded by the people who stand to make a profit off it," the St. Paul DFLer told a group of researchers who study the effects of violent video games on children.
