While I won't go quite as far as Bojay in my reasons for thinking this was a bad idea, I will say that it could have lasting effects that would be negative to gamers. If enough damage is done to the bottom line (unlikely, but possible given people's tendency to feel "entitled"), companies could start to limit their exposure to similar lawsuits and stop pushing the boundaries. I'm far from a fan of the series, but GTA would be boring as hell if it wasn't for the near limitless violence in it. If Rockstar/Take Two gets slapped enough times or for enough money, they could decide it's no longer worth it and start churning out the same rehashed crap year after year, not unlike EA.Originally Posted by portnoyd
I personally would rather see the boundaries pushed and developers willing to take risks as the end result will be much more interesting, but if people keep taking the rewards (profit) from the companies that do such things, there won't be any reason left to do it.
