If you can't look at today's games and see a difference from the games released between 1977-2005, then I don't know what to tell you lol. It use to be that people would dream something up, pitch the idea to a publisher, and if it was compelling enough, the game would get green-lit and that was that. Now, there's a checklist involved. And if all those boxes aren't ticked off, it's a no go from the start. And that's not even getting into the development houses themselves (some of them, anyway), which are now populated with people who think it's their mission to change the world with video games. I mean, come on. It's video games, not the freakin' UN, or senate.

Activism has it's place. But with it always comes arguing, debating, fighting, screaming, riots and even murder. In short, it's ugly. Very ugly. And I don't want that anywhere near my video games, movie or TV shows. Those, I go to to breathe for awhile; to get away. So if you're going to put that stuff into your games, I'm going to take one quick look, go nope, and then walk away immediately and find something else to consume. 

Like Nintendo games.

Or retro.

I don’t want to derail the topic of this thread any more, so I won’t be continuing this conversation here, but I am bummed that you didn’t provide any examples of games. That’s all I was asking for from the first question: actual games. I only play on Nintendo consoles so I have no idea what is happening on other systems. But I do know that Call of Duty has been promoting war and GTA has been promoting violence on the streets for quite a while, so I guess I understand your point if that’s what you mean.
