An article about the current court case in Califonia that involves violent video games mentions Grand Theft Auto. Here’s an excerpt (including a bit about the case, in case you haven’t been following it):
“If people understood some of the more beautiful games out there, they would see that it is an artistic medium and has cultural value, and that expression should be treated the same as books and movies,” said Josh Jones, a programmer for Salt Lake City-based Smart Bomb Interactive, who is chairman of the Salt Lake/Provo chapter of the International Game Developers Association.
Nationally, industry officials are speaking out about the issue. “As a game developer, I am disheartened and a little perplexed to see my art and passion lumped in with cigarettes and booze,” Daniel Greenberg, a Washington-based video game writer and designer, wrote in a recent Washington Post op-ed.
In Arnold Schwarzenegger v. Entertainment Merchants Association (EMA), both sides argued before the court Nov. 2 whether government can ban the sale of a “deviant,” violent video game to a minor.
The U.S. Court of Appeals earlier struck down the law as unconstitutional, before California appealed the ruling. It could be months before the Supreme Court issues its written ruling.
At issue are games such as “Grand Theft Auto,” “Manhunt” or “Postal 2,” a shoot-em-up game in which a player can burn people alive and then urinate on them as they are dying. In “Grand Theft Auto,” players can kill prostitutes with a baseball bat and steal their money.
“Our concern is that it gives rewards — points that players can achieve — as they progress,” said Jan Garbett, vice president of Women for Decency, a Salt Lake City-based family values group that supports the California law. “They get points for violent acts and sexual acts.”
But video game developers believe their medium is a new expressive form of digital, interactive art, and therefore should be protected by the First Amendment.
