Should gamers be accountable for in-game war crimes?
 
The Red Cross has told the BBC that it wants military-themed video games to adhere to real-life international laws

"What the Red Cross wants to see then is the player being penalised for carrying out such actions as willfully killing civilians or torturing enemy combatants, both of which are punishable under international law. A Q&A document posted on the organisation's website explains:
The ICRC is suggesting that as in real life, these games should include virtual consequences for people's actions and decisions. Gamers should be rewarded for respecting the law of armed conflict and there should be virtual penalties for serious violations of the law of armed conflict, in other words war crimes.
And importantly it adds:
Our intention is not to spoil player's enjoyment by for example, interrupting the game with pop-up messages listing legal provisions or lecturing gamers on the law of armed conflict. We would like to see the law of armed conflict integrated into the games so that players have a realistic experience and deal first-hand with the dilemmas facing real combatants on real battlefields.
The ICRC says it is now working directly with the developers of modern military simulations and the BBC report contains an interview with Marek Spanel of Bohemia Interactive, creator of the Arma series, who claims the studio's games will now be implementing the suggestions."

What a load of crap. They should deal with the real world problems and not worry about digital entertainment.

You just know the next generation of war games will feature bonus points for torturing a Red Cross executive.

My suggestion is that they have an in game purchase for red cross aid, then instead of it going to the civilians , the developers steal it and buy yachts, watches and shoes for the mistress, just like in real life too.

Watch what will happen in the next few years when there is a generation of "gamers" who believe that it is acceptable to commit crimes against humanity.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face

Quote:

There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always ? do not forget this, Winston ? always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.

People are wising up to these media outrage stunts. They know it's just all for exposure and press. They have begun to start ignoring the messages.

Well,in game fallout there is karma where if you kill too much people it become negative and you cant approach some people then.
