Gamer view worth notice
"Morality in video games is not uncommon," writes a reader of the Los Angeles Times. "Even in the much-reviled Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the main character deals with stopping a corrupt police force and trying to halt the sale of drugs in his city. The idea that gratuitous violence is the major factor that drives game sales is preposterous. In fact, games that are rated 'M' for mature make up only about 12% of video game sales. Of these, only a handful feature violence or sex without some kind of moral context, and these usually sell abysmally."
