Family Safe Versions of Games
Cordova, TN; July 24, in the year of our Lord 2017--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is sharing an idea I had recently. I would
love to see family safe versions of games. This concept came to
me on a walk while we were discussing how certain companies made
non-gore versions of their games. In fact Goat Simulator and
Dark Souls II both allow adult gamers to turn off the blood and
gore. There is also a limited feature in Limbo to do the same
thing. I am sure there are plenty of other examples out there. I
believe every single seventeen and older only video game should
include an option to turn off the blood and gore. I hear from
hardcore haters that this macabre and morbid game has a good
story in it. I won’t play it because of all the excessive blood
and gore which is not needed.
For years Family Friendly Gaming has criticized the macabre and
morbid rated video games because they are limiting their sales.
Families avoid those dirty games like the plague. Those
companies have a bad public image, and are generally only loved
by the hardcore haters. So what can be done about it? Some fake
news stories from CNN? I don’t think that would help the video
game industry. I do think offering an option to turn off the
blood and gore in all of these games is technologically viable,
possible, and needed. Will they do it though? I hope so. I would
certainly like to see it happen. I might even consider
purchasing a macabre and morbid rated video game if I could
easily turn off the blood and gore. In fact it would be awesome
to set the parental features on a system to only play thirteen
and older video games. Then when a game with a higher rating is
put in, it will actually play in a thirteen and older only
version. That would be extremely helpful to families. The
macabre and morbid content could easily be cleansed to make
these games available to more families.
I would love to see the macabre and morbid games become like the
director’s cut of movies. There is the normal version which is
safer and cleaner. Then the macabre and morbid versions of these
games become the director’s cut. I believe this would help the
image of the video game industry and it would help sales of
these games. I stopped playing the macabre and morbid games many
years ago because I do not want to expose my mind to such evil,
vile, and wicked things. I see nothing positive from letting all
of that gross, and disgusting content into my brain. There is
enough bad in our world. I see no need to fantasy about even
more of it. Listening to praise and worship music gives me a
better attitude, and puts me in a better mood. I would like to
see an option for all of these games to have cleaner versions.
What about you? Do you think this is even possible? Would you
consider buying some of these games if the bad content was
cleansed?
God bless,
