It's good to have some new information to write about after a 3 week long landslide of nothing but news on the Manhunt 2 banning. Thousands of hard-working developers have put 3 years into this game, this outcome is a major slap in the face, and quiet frankly very disrespectful. It is good to see the company standing up for their rights and their belief's. We sure hope this works out soon, once again we'd like to show our support for Take-Two, Rockstar Games and the Manhunt 2 game itself. "What is the purpose of a rating if it means effectively that a title cannot be released?.Having a rating that we don't think is appropriate is one issue, obviously, and a separate issue would be if we feel the rating is appropriate and we can't bring it to market…that seems somewhat nonsensical." Zelnick also said he was critical of the American Rating system, where games rated for Adults Only are deemed inappropriate, wrong and useless as Sony and Nintendo both refuse to release AO games and most AO games are not stocked by game sellers: "We don't see ourselves in the Adults Only business, having said that, if we find ourselves in the Adults Only business, it would be because we have a title that we consider art and entertainment, that we consider if appropriately labeled AO, and that we would like to bring to market." Take-Two will be standing by the game even if it has to keep it's dreaded Adults Only (AO) rating. He added that Rockstar Games sees itself as a producer of Mature (M rated) games. "We also have hundreds of extraordinarily talented people who have worked on this title for three years, and supporting their creative vision and bringing it to consumers as unvarnished and unchanged as possible is crucial to us" Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelman has said the company took it's social responsibility very seriously.

Creative industries have always faced harsh political and legal criticism, and we know some of the movie industry's more reactionary responses to scrutiny actually backfired. Yes, we have responsibilities as an industry, but as a creative industry, not as a pharmaceutical or weapons industry. In other words, although gamers can negotiate the boundaries between reality and fiction in other media, you believe we are incapable of navigating the same boundaries in videogames. What about games make them deserve special treatment from the authorities? According to industry groups, the average games player is in his or her 30s, yet you support the widely held view that games are somehow a less sophisticated medium than cinema, only suitable for immature audiences. In fact, a ban is a triumph for the industry's harshest critics, not an act of diplomacy.Ī ban is only likely to encourage those who believe video games, already the most regulated medium in entertainment history, should be further restricted. You seem to view banning Manhunt 2 as a way to protect the industry from scrutiny and unfair attacks. The only obvious victor is the status quo. We are still exploring our options for Manhunt 2, but how does banning our game support the industry or further the development of the medium? Unlike a heavy-handed editor or a critical review of a game, a ban is punishment for deviating from tradition.Ī ban denies everyone the chance to consider, experience, or discuss the actual game.
