I think its unnecessarily convoluted, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) are morons and need to get a life.

Including their cousins like the MPA and RIAA.

I am currently doing research around this topic for my University work and have created a google form for people to respond, but I need to make sure it is clean and respects everyone’s privacy.

You can request my signal group through direct messages if you would like to fill it out once it releases, I have other plans to have a talk as a (focus) group.

    There are so many amazing games to play. If you wanted to, you could cut off all future content from this day on, and still have more than enough to remain entertained for the rest of your life.

    If you can’t make each game better than the last, people will just go back to the last game. But if you take away the last game, they’ll go to the new game simply because the same game but worse is still better than nothing.

    Isn’t this true for every form of media though? Books, TV shows, movies, music; there are multiple lifetimes worth of content for anyone that wants to look for it. What makes video games so special?

      Video games as a medium, is still new. And that state of so much you could drown in it, is also new.

      Just a couple decades ago you could conceivably play every game ever made, and then be left thirsting for something new.

      And games are plateauing technologically, if not mechanically. New games are no longer better, just because they’re newer, with nicer graphics, bigger worlds and smoother gameplay. That stuff has been figured out.

      Now you have to make games better, by making them better.
