Those machines are supposed to be handheld PCs. Increase the size of the screen and you're going against the main purpose of those things.

They already did it, it's just that you don't like what you got.

Also, excuse me while I facepalm at humanity for a second:

You may find it dumb, but the Geneva convention is (mostly) right. The importance and significance of the Red Cross (or Red Crescent) can't be overlooked and, when it comes to videogames, it's trivialized in most cases.

The Red Cross means safety, a place where you won't be attacked while receiving medical treatment. Not a stopgap between battles to get patched. That's why there is a problem with how medkits are used in videogames, where they're used during fights while still being shot at or in a room with lots of ammo because there's a big fight behind the next door or corridor.

With that said, I see no problem with videogames using the red cross as long as they are implemented the right way, in rooms or map sections with no enemies around so thatt he safety part of its meaning can be shown.

Also, the nurses in Silent Hill didn't need the red cross to be recognized as such.

I loved Battlefront 1 and 2 from EA, despite 1 mostly being online based, but to me those were better than Souls Wars, which is why I'm still waiting for something other than a continuation of that side of the franchise. I wasn't big on the fighters only game either. 

Yes, but I fail to see why games are being pressed more harder against with that law, than say, Russia sending agents to the UK to poison defectors tea with radiation poison and getting away with it, but when it's a character wearing a nurse outfit, all bets are off, do you see what I'm pushing here?.

There have been numerous times since the creation of the convention and there have also been times where it has not been enacted properly or to a full extent, and I see it being pushed onto gaming as an abuse of the law, when it is clearly not being pushed far, far harder in the real world, I actually find it batshit insane that this is even happening or is a thing, and I won't accept excuses for that level of insanity either (I truly am sorry, but I will die on this hill with valour, because I've seen the real world get away with chemical warfare and seeing this just makes me both angry and depressed at humanity). 

There are far more important matters the world should be attending to than a character's costume or a first aid box made up of pixels, for real...far bigger needs.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
