Ah yeah true dat

Has anyone been convicted of this?

The first Australian +18 video game was released in January 2013, GTA 5 came out in December 2013 and fallout 4 was released in November… 2015

From what I can tell from the timeline of events it absolutely was a move by Bethesda to market the game to kids.

Arguing that porn doesn’t exploit women because there are women who consume porn is just as dumb as arguing that porn does exploit women because there are women who don’t consume porn.

I think this was a ratings issue. I think you can make video games with real life drugs in them but if you don’t want an +18 rating you’ll have to compromise. I think Bethesda got told they could only sell the game to adults and so they changed the names to make more money. I mean I was playing GTA selling real drugs and playing fallout 4 and doping on fake drugs on the same PS4 at 15, I just couldn’t walk into eb’s and buy a copy of GTA without my dad there lol.

I’m all for creative freedoms but when it comes to selling games to kids that show real life drugs as giving sweet buffs, maybe a little subtlety is warranted.

Anyway obligatory ragebait dum American can’t comprehend nuance comment

Nothing says antifa like the commercialised exploitation of women

I’m so sorry everyone

We’ll see how these things work out long term
