Why Include Bad Content?
Cordova, TN; August 28, in the year of our Lord 2017--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is asking all of us in the video game
industry a very important question. Why Include Bad Content? Too
many video games include over the top content that is not really
needed. So why put it in there in the first place? Some people
might say the answer to that question is because it is what
gamers demand. Not here at Family Friendly Gaming. In fact we
ask for the exact opposite. There are a small population of
gamers that ask for the blood, gore, bad language, and other bad
content. More sales are lost by including it than by leaving it
out. Why does that small population of gamers want the bad
content?
Just as we promote creation here at Family Friendly Gaming,
there are others who worship the exact opposite. There are
people that worship death and destruction. In my opinion that is
where the demands for the bad content is coming from. That may
not be the only reason. If you have another reason I am willing
to listen. I ask these questions and write these columns to
spark thought and conversation. The ideas I come up with are not
the end all be all. There are many people who email me with
wonderful ideas I would have never thought of. So it is neat to
see the various ideas on these topics ya’ll come up with. We
worship God here at Family Friendly Gaming. I know there are
people who worship Satan. We will all answer for our choices one
day.
Logically and economically I cannot see why some companies
obsess over the macabre and morbid content. They are limiting
their audience with the bad content they put into their games. I
would think each of these companies would want to limit as much
of the bad content as possible. That way they could reach a
larger audience. I know there are some hardcore hater gamers
that constantly push, fuss, and fight to get macabre and morbid
content. Maybe it makes them feel superior to have all of the
evil, vile, and wicked content within video games. I am not sure
how. After all the way they think and the way I think is exactly
opposite. I prefer the good, wholesome, uplifting, positive, and
happy content. Where do you fall on this issue?
God bless,
