I really hate that I have to be on the side of people not too long ago that said stupid shit like “video games cause violence” or “Pokemon is the devil’s work”
He was actually an incredibly good guy. Videogames were a rising media that were basically one giant money Laundering front. To keep it niche they aimed at arcades and more adult themes. Kids still loved it.
The public hearing was why companies like Sega promoted themselves to kids. Sega said games like Mortal Kombat were aimed at College students.
Nintendo of America's Lawyer Howard Lincoln called that crap. He and the representative from Sega openly argued on the congressional floor. It was especially awkward because the guy from Sega used to work at Nintendo.
Sega openly promised to work with others to create a ratings system for videogames. Lieberman accepted this.
In the closed meeting the many game companies were told to stop it with the obvious money laundering and mafia tactics. Most of the companies involved wouldn't be making videogames, or sell consoles after that because of financial scrutiny.
This is how Sony was able to sneak in. They followed the ratings system, and any money Laundering involved the US military.
Lieberman fully admitted he didn't understand videogames and would call people he trusted to find out more. These were journalists and designers who had worked with him during the congressional hearing. He supported videogames against others several times.
Yeah, that's BS. I was there. The politicians wanted to control this growing medium and threatened to enact laws to ban violence in games outright unless the industry "self regulated" (oh and paid their proper political donations to the appropriate parties - that's where the real money Launcering happened.)
huh... So, like.... how come there's no media circus for his death like Democrats like to use to fund raise... No lying in state at the Capitol for visitation?
It feels like a lot of "right wing " puritans that were always trying to get pop culture censored, were jews and not Christians

You are noticing now who was pulling the strings.
Ok so not only trying to mess with my games, was also trying to shove more young people into war zones?
At least he's gone but unfortunately there's still many like him currently serving..
RIP to the "religious right from the early 90's who went after video games". Now there is just Hillary Clinton and Tipper Gore left.

What does ((())) mean? And why is dying to regulate violent and explocit imagert in media directed at children a bad thing?
You were amusing at first.
I prefer the imp though. Can we please trade this guy for the imp back? I don't want this barabbas guy
Do we know it's not the same person? Imp might have gotten bored waiting for his ban to run out.
Imp revealed his loyalty to the tribe on several occasions.
He's also revealed he ban evades on alt accounts, outright admitting to it on at least 2 other accounts.
Nowhere in his statement is a woman blamed
I think he’s self-aware enough to hide his power level when he wants to.
