[QUOTE=Vedicardi;41858013]so now not only do people read esrb always before the buy a game, but look up the definitions for each term they use, and the developers adhere to those specific definitions

By this logic people with allergic reactions (PTSD sufferers) shouldn't look up what it says on the back of a pill bottle (ERSB) and maybe if their allergic reaction is horrible pain (Flashbacks) they might want to go the extra step and look up some ingredients (Full rating explanation).

Feel free to pay five dollars and get me a title. I promise not to remove it.
[QUOTE=Alex_DeLarge;41858026]I'm telling all victims of anything to fuck off because I shouldn't have to cater to anyone but myself. It's my project, I'm the one designing it. I'm the one developing it. If I don't feel like putting a warning in my game, I'm not going to. If you want to design a game or write a book or direct a movie and warn your audience of what to expect, fine but don't expect everyone else to because there is "potential for trauma if the wrong person reads/views/plays content.
That's ridiculous, there are measures in place to make sure that doesn't happen and if they don't read the rating descriptions, then yes they do deserve whatever is coming to them because I'm not going to waste my time programming a screen that does nothing but annoys and potentially deters people from playing my game.[/QUOTE]
i still have no idea who the fuck sees this one tiny screen and gets really pissed off about it, like who the fuck cares THAT MUCH

isnt it the doctor's job to prescribe medicine that will not give the patient an allergic reaction

I do and it's not your place to decide what I do with my game. Honestly I don't care if one of my products causes "post traumatic stress". They should have read the content description. I fulfilled my legal obligation.
[QUOTE=Alex_DeLarge;41858052]It's already out and by the looks of your Steam profile, you have already played it :downs:[/QUOTE]

well i think the fact that you're only obligated to fulfill literally the absolute bare minimum of caring about these people says a lot more about you than i ever could

[QUOTE=Primigenes;41858098]And??
Rape causes your PTSD? That doesn't mean other forms of sexual violence won't trigger you because again triggers are subjective
Say a woman is threatened by her boss and so on...
Now seeing sexual threats in video games, books, movies, etc now trigger her. What do you do for people like that?
So why wouldn't they just avoid sexual violence in general?[/QUOTE]
because rape is rarely depicted in videogames and they have no reason to expect it

me
i absolutely hate pointless splash screens, there are some games where, every fucking time i boot them up, i have to wait 30 seconds to a minute before i even get to the title screen
no thank you
ofcourse this only applies if the screen is unskippable, but if it is skippable it'll not even be as good of a warning as the ESRB rating already is, because seriously who the fuck actually watches every single splash screen upon booting up a game if they have a choice about it.
so whats the point?

okay i have a solution
put rape into more games
why not remove the name of the dev studio and publisher and so on during game boot up while we are at it
[QUOTE=Alex_DeLarge;41858061]Feel free to pay five dollars and get me a title. I promise not to remove it.[/QUOTE]
if i were gonna get you a title it'd have to do with your advocation of killing orphaned newborns, not this

Why do you keep putting completely legitimate terms in quotation marks like that
[QUOTE=Vedicardi;41858130]no words[/QUOTE]
exactly, it's the perfect solution
you're speechless at the awesomeness that is this solution to all the problems
we shall add rape to every game, it shall be mandatory, no matter how relevant it actually is to the subject matter of that game
[QUOTE=Vedicardi;41858124]why not remove the name of the dev studio and publisher and so on during game boot up while we are at it[/QUOTE]
In my game, both of those things are skippable (thanks to me).

ah you see, here's the problem
nine times out of ten, they are SKIPPABLE
thus they aren't really a problem, atleast not a big one
except when they aren't skippable. fuck that

I'm doing my part. My next (unannounced) title will definitely have a rape scene and I'm going to make sure no one is warned about it beforehand.

now we see what kind of people we are dealing with lol *rates agree*
I feel like devs should be able to put any material they want in their games without fear of people getting up in arms about "but what about the children/rape victims/women who have been subjected to sexist behavior!!"
I mean generally when you read the ratings it says all the reasons why it's rated as such
