Well, in my country the problem with games is that basically right now there is a law slowly advancing that tries to ban every game with violence.

Same here. After a series of killing sprees at schools committed by students, the whole discussion about violence in media (especially video games) picked up pace. As yet, no tightening of the law has taken place, but who knows what the future will bring.

It's only populism after all: By trying to ban violent video games, they're trying to ban violence from society. But games aren't the origin of the violence, they're only made the scapegoats.

If anything violent games offer a way for people to blow off steam virtually as much as they want without causing any actual harm. As Yahtzee said, "Painkiller; proof that the best way to blow off steam is to blow off someone's nadgers."

I don't see how they can ban Amnesia anyway since there's no violence in it. Violence is hinted at but the player doesn't actually participate in any of it (except for maybe one hallucination).

If fate frowns, we all perish.
Do not fear the darkness, but welcome its embrace.

Pretty sure the world would be almost exactly the same without censorship.

Pretty sure it would be completely different.

Besides a few annoying things, like "You can't have this game in this country" or some shit. Everything else would be pretty much untouched.

Was referring to like violent/sexual censorship in video games/movies/etc, not what the government/media filters out of the news.

I just assumed people would realize I was talking about that, considering thats pretty much what the whole discussion going on here is centered around.
