Midweek Meanderings: Treatment of Children in Gaming

Bracken Lee-Rudolph from ITF Gaming writes: There are a few contentious issues in video games currently, the amount of graphic violence believed, wrongly, to be the sole influence of violence amongst youth, the depiction of females in videogames, as female characters are often victimised or misrepresented by the games in which they are featured and so on. However, these are well documented issues, organisations like Feminist Frequency attempt to deal with the latter issue, which is a topic for conversation all on its own and most news outlets have had some input on the belief of videogames inducing violence in our youth, whether factual or sensationalised.

You're certainly in the wrong place if you do not wish to view articles written about what we feel are relevant issues.

"Hello Ellie."

David so creepy.

goldwyncq3940d ago

I say we definitely need more underage protagonists like Ellie in mature video games.

Even as side characters, a more profound or dynamic depiction of child or teenage characters wouldn't go amiss.

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.

It's not a remaster, it's a next gen update.

Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.
