Nothing much has changed you still have idiotic congress people complelty misunderstanding the point of the games and using false easily disproven nonsense to paint the games as being the cause of violence.
Nighttrap they claimed you the player were killing the girls when the objective was to save them. Clocktower you had an idiotic congressman saying you the player were the scissorman and you were to kill these little girls. You were in fact the little girl and had to defeat the scissorman.
Honestly how the hell do you fuck up the objectives to a game when they are described on the back of the game box? Reply to this
