EA Interactive and Rockstar Games had a combined conference last week announcing they we're “sick and tired of being told that their games influence kids to commit acts of violence.” and that they would draw real influences of violence which would “save the hassle of being blamed for the resultant violence.”. The rumor today is that the two are studying Indian culture to get ideas for new violent content in upcoming games.

“India is the only country where no one has blamed video games for the violent nature of the people, it’s the only country where real people are as violent as the stuff in our games and none of these people even know what a video game is!” says James Anderson, Head of Content for Rockstar.

So far they have been watching videos of religous riots to understand how these violent riots and happenings start, thus how to incorporate such things into a game making the idea and violence more realistic. In closing they said “Simplicity is the key to success and the simpler the reason, the more ridiculously violent the riot, its brilliant.”. Well done and thank you to Rockstar and EA, good too see them standing up for whats right, lets hope we can get the point across to the rating systems and politician's next.
