Notice how they dont say underwear (longeria, ya spelling isnt that great).

This could be a major blow to Nintendo and their audience.

Apparently you can't even have games that depict nudity, partial nudity, or are suggestive on the floor at E3. WTF are all the crazy Japanese games supposed to go?

Seriously. I'd rather have people making out on the street instead of shooting at me.

meh. I guess the e3 nerds will have to wait two days (for those who flew, those who drove can get their fix instantly) to get back to their 100gig porn collections.

I totally think this is a great thing.. I've been to E3 several times and as much as I'm a guy who likes to see scantily clad ladies, I think that their presence limits the ability of the powerful media that is gaming to become considered more mainstream. If we lure gamers with big boobs and really low-cut or revealing outfits rather than quality programming, intelligent design, and good efforts at creating creative, unique games, not only will games suffer at the lower expectations of players, but it will continue to be marginalized as a geek thing. It's not a geek thing - it's an everyone thing, just as much as going to the movies or playing team sports.

I think that E3 should be less of a media circus and more of a legitimate event whereby industry professionals strut their stuff and give the media an opportunity to see what's coming and what to be excited about. It's a professional event for a reason - if you wanna mix with the public, go to CES.

Did you guys fail to read the bottom part of the article?

"While there going to be plenty of whining from people who only go for the booth babes, Sex & Games points out the more alarming problem: this will force "adult games or games with partial nudity" off the show floor. It is a private event, but if companies are paying a premium to be there, should they have more say in what is considered OK on the show floor?"

This could and would include any game DEEMED BY THEM! as racy....or adult..
the industry already considers
GTA
DOA
God of War
and many other titles as adult becasue of harmless amounts of partial nudity or adult themes..
what this little tidbit says is THEY CANNOT SHOW ANY TITLES THAT THEY DEEM TO BE INAPPROPRIATE...
thats a huge violation of not only our rights.. but also the game publishers as well..
the way this is written means they cannot display something as harmless as DOA4 in public as it contains partial nudity...

this goes for countless games WE ADULTS PLAY....
this is not just an industry for children the boom is coming from adult games than it is from kiddie titles...
this dampers your favorite game studios from showing thier products as well as getting exposure to possible investers and contributers as well as consumers.

this IS A BAD THING...
its a violation of our rights...

most of you didnt read anything past the Booth babes part of the post..
there is way more to this post...

I think you're totally right - we don't want them sanctioning the content of the actual games presented at E3, but some standards are good for keeping a professional tradeshow, well, professional.

It would be the last to argue that limiting the range of games that can be shown at an industry conferance showing progress and design of new games - adult and religious content completely included (even if not in the same place).

I think you are blowing this issue WAY out of proportion. The most important being the following snippet:

Nobody's rights are being violated.

It is also the biggest show of the year for software game devs...
if they are barred from showing thier flagship titles this can seriously hurt thier business and exposure.
