In response to all the flak surrounding the upcoming release of the video game, Medal of Honor, EA's President has released a
statement defending the game. He uses words like "creative vision" and "artistic choice" and states, incredibly, "....the media of its (sic) time can be a platform for the people who wish to tell their stories. Games are becoming that platform".
Pardon? Storytelling medium?
I don't have any video games but, from what I've seen on documentaries about gaming and the games involved, I find it hard to believe that even a single copy would be sold to someone who thought they were being told a story.
I find it even more incredible that this executive would compare video games,as a story-telling medium, to a classic work of literature -
The Red Badge of Courage.
