Why FFG Does not Run the ESRB PSAs
Cordova, TN; September 12, in the year of our Lord 2014--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is officially releasing the reasons for not
running the PSA’s from the ESRB. First and foremost what are
those acronym? FFG stands for Family Friendly Gaming. Hopefully
your family already knew that. The ESRB stands for the
Entertainment Software Rating Board. The organization that
produces ratings on some of the video games on the market.
Finally there is some debate about what PSA stands for. Some
claim it stands for Public Service Announcement. Others
vehemently stand behind the definition of Propaganda Statement
Advertisement. Which do you think fits in this instance?
The PSA’s the ESRB send over are in fact advertisements for
themselves, and their rating system. They are filled with
propaganda, and out right lies. Family Friendly Gaming routinely
brings up mistakes made by the ESRB. Yet they want video game
websites and video game magazines to run their propaganda
advertisements to try and garner public support. Video games
have a bad public image. The solution the industry has come up
is to run propaganda advertisements claiming they are
trustworthy, honorable, and respected. I almost laughed to death
the first time they sent over one of their propaganda
advertisements. Not only did they want us to run with their
lies, they expected us to do it for free.
Family Friendly Gaming has honor and integrity. We do the right
thing even when it is the harder thing to do. The ESRB is trying
to take a shortcut. Instead of trying to earn the trust of the
public, they are trying to brainwash them. Too many gaming sites
and magazines happily spread the lies. They want to be revered,
and seen as celebrities. So of course they do not think for
themselves. Family Friendly Gaming follows a different path. The
one that stands up for honesty, and integrity. We do not use
that lame moral equivalency argument. Instead we call them how
we see them. That is why we will not run the propaganda
statement advertisements from the ESRB.
God bless,
