Mature Rated Games? - Why Censor The Servers?
Posted: Thu Sep 02, 2004 3:31 pm
Ok i noticed a mild phenomenom (if thats how you spell it), about certain game servers. Its happen in all First Person Shooters Multiplayer games that i played online so far (Halo, Half-life, Counter-strike, Unreal Tournament and of course all the mods of each). My question is about the Mature rating on the label of the box on videogames (meaning blood, gore, and maybe explicit langauge). Its on the videogame before you buy it and it is labeled most of the time "IN-GAME" when you play it. So why do some servers "censor" there servers and say no cursing?
I mean seriously its hippocracy at its greatest "...run over a person, blow them away with an rocket launcher and then burn them alive with flame thrower BUT dont you dare say the "F" word". What is up with that? Seriously it makes no sense to me...they tell me "...its for the younger games that are playing....some of our clan memebers are only 14 (or younger)" ...IF he/she is playing halo or multiplaying online then they are definitly exposed to cursing and violence....I know for a fact that "that person" who is underage doesnt just ONLY play that one server all day...they will go to uncensored servers so they will be exposed so really whats going on?
