Delixe: Me? Attack Brian Crecente? Guilty as charged. Crecente is a nasty little man who hates games. Last E3 He was paid lot of money to go to E3 and his only contribution was asking where the PS3 version of Battlefield 3 was.

As for the article he picked this up out of no-where to justifiy his salary. Nothing more.

lukaszthegreat: so why are you giving him traffic then? you sound like those fox news people who claimed that ME is sex simulator without actually playing it. (OH YEAH. I went there :D )

Telnet: Well, the Red Cross are the reason we can't have said symbol for health power-ups in video games, so this might be worth keeping an eye on.

lukaszthegreat: y srs? since when?

Approximately 5 years or so.

Cleidophoros: No I am not. I am quoting this

"Delixe: Oh.God. Seriously? What the hell are the Red Cross doing looking at games? Seriously?
"
and answering with this

"RC looking at video games is RC's business, nothing to do with Kotaku. Are you being dense on purpose?"
Since you answered. What the hell have the Red Cross got to do with gaming? Seriously I am asking. What business is it of theirs to even look at games? Should they not be out saving lives not looking at a fucking game?

Clearly the Red Cross has too much money, too many people and subsequently too much time on its hands. We'd all be doing it a favour by not burdening it any further with such things.

As for Kotaku, yes it's generally a bit crap. But your reaction to this article seems unwarranted.

but why are you blaming Kotaku for RC actions? answer this. How is kotaku to be blamed for what RC is doing?
that's what most of us have problem with, your attack on Kotaku for RC actions.

Direct quote:
"During this week's 31st International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent in Geneva, Switzerland, members of the committee held a side event to discuss the influence video games have on public perception and action."
Like I said before they are brainstorming about games and morality. It's a valid discussion.

You thinking RC shouldn't be looking at games doesn't justify attacking Kotaku for reporting it.

I am blaming Kotaku for reporting it. They shouldn't give this type of crap the time of the day let alone a front page article.

To inject some humour into the proceedings; are zombies protected under the Geneva Conventions, or can we continue blasting them in as many inhumane ways as we can think of?

Why kinda? It's their symbol, their IP and they don't want it used where they don't want it.

The real article shoud be Kotaku investigating why the Red Cross is getting involved. Not herp durr, Page Hits.

No but they are giving voices to people who would stop it. This is just the latest example of Kotaku turning into the Daily Mail of gaming.

they did report facts fairly competently tough (as far as we can see without research). did you even read that?

and why should they not report it? why should kotaku censor itself?

They are not practising investigative journalism. They are doing opinion journalism.

Kotaku report it with balance. Kotaku didn't do that.

That's fucking obvious.
