Haven’t posted much about PC games for awhile, but blow me down if I haven’t stumbled upon a couple which should get you thinking if you’re into PC gaming at all.

Firstly, over at Dubious Quality there’s a thought provoking post about copy protection and how it pertains to the gaming industry - well content providers in general really but the main thrust is about games.

Secondly, the government has published its review on computer game ratings. The main concern with regard to computer games is that children are getting their filthy little hands on games which feature mature content. At a glance it seems the government’s solution is to actually make the situation with regard to rating games more complicated than it already is. Brilliant.

They also propose that anybody wanting to buy computer games will face trial by being burnt at the stake with a minister quoted as saying that the flames will be fuelled by all of the hot air and bile generated by the news media that’s usually directed towards the gaming industry. I may have made that last bit up.
