Lawsuits against Game maker violence? did anyone catch that case where the 14 year old gunned down 7 classmates, and now the families lawyer looking for the deepest pockets are going after the video game makers who "influenced" their killer kid? I wonder how/if this will actually effect this sector. It may depend on the verdict in a similar case where families are suing the makers of the movie "Natural Born Killers" for getting their kids to go on a killing spree. I think the best responce from the gaming companies would be to publish a first person shooter where we get to fragg all these damn lawyers...
