At Least People Are Talking

You may or may not have heard that there is some controversy about the game Shadow Complex. Enough controversy has brewed that some people have boycotted the game altogether. This article is not about that controversy.

If you have been following this controversy, no matter your opinion, you have to admit that it is getting people talking. This is a community that at times can be very harsh towards other gamers and as far as I have noticed, it seems that most of the discussion has been civil. I have to just admit that I am happy that people are talking about an issue that is not game related.

It is my hope that this sort of thing will happen in the future. No, not controversy, but discussion and activism. The gaming community is a very large and diverse group. We spend so much time talking about price drops, DLCs, and release dates that it seems to me that interesting things could happen if some of that energy was placed outside of the gaming world.
