There’s precedent though. Alcohol and tobacco have significant restrictions on marketing material. I would argue that firearms should fall into the same category.
My impression was the same- eye roll at the “videogames cause violence” argument that’s been beaten to death, but I actually think they may have a point when it comes to marketing.
Sadly, I also think that COD is a military recruitment strategy (Boy Boy did a video breaking down the way the American recruiters use COD to capture a certain demographic) so I don’t think this lawsuit will go anywhere. Thought-provoking though.
I hear that. Playing games set in snowy areas make me feel cold, so I grab myself an extra blanket and turn on the fireplace for those levels/areas. If your brain is reading underground=confined then it’s not something a blanket or sweater helps. Even if you don’t feel trapped perse it makes sense that you crave open areas. I’m curious whether games that are set in huge dungeons like Hollow Knight, or some of the Skyrim dungeons, trigger the same emotions.
