Video games to be censored in India

The I&B ministry has finally heeded to pleas by parents to censor all graphic computer games. This basically means that computer games with too much blood and gore will not be made available for children. Same goes for those games which involve 'prizes' like virtual sex with a girl if you clear a certain level.

"Parents have been voicing their concerns against such computer games for a long time now. We decided it's high time we introduce censorship in computer and video games," says a source in the I&B ministry.

The draft bill being considered by the ministry also proposes that the Censor Board do this job and certify an age-limit for kids accessing particular video games. The Censor Board might also reserve the right to reject a video game if it is 'unsuitable' for an Indian audience.

HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT

aba5956d ago (Edited 5956d ago )

I'd worry about bride burning before I worried about censoring video games.

EDIT: Don't have 1/100th the violence or sexual lewdness huh? Yeah don't think so. Burning people alive isn't accepted social behavior over here like it is in India, so you lose there. As for the lewdness, the U.S. is pretty uptight about sex. So your wrong there as well. Maybe you should "think before writing" huh?

sajj3165956d ago

Classy comment. Sir, I ask that you think before writing. Being Indian but born and raised in the US, I can assure you that my home country does not have 1/100th the violence or sexual lewdness that the US displays almost daily. Every culture and country has their negatives. I also agree that games don't kill people, idiots do. But, an idiot who plays games makes the idiot a complete immoral fool, thus the problems you see.

For an indian born in the UK I can only fully agree with you there.. India needs to sort out it's other issues first before even thinking that gaming voilence is going to be a factor. They can probably start with bride burning and finish with the ethnic cleansing (who forgot 30 people burnt in a church last week because of Hindu vs Christian issues in one state in India), there are so many other violent issues going on in india and we're talking about areas and parts that don't have telly's let alone gaming consoles..

Capt CHAOS5956d ago

MK_Red5956d ago

More censorship, less freedom. NICE (Borat style).

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
