GameInsider is carrying a press release (http://www.gameinsider.com/comments.php?id=922&catid=1) from the International Game Developers Association (IGDA (http://www.igda.org/)) on the creation of a "Sex Special Interest Group" to address the challenges and possibilities for adult content within games.

"The Sex SIG will serve as an arena for developers to address the issues and challenges facing the use of adult sexual content in video games," said Brenda Brathwaite, Sex SIG Chair/Founder and Lead Designer on Playboy: The Mansion from Cyberlore Studios. "Our main objective is to encourage responsible development."

The Sex SIG will serve as a source for related industry news and will provide an online discussion forum and mailing list to promote developer interaction. The group is also working on several initiatives to fortify adult content representation, including conference lectures and white papers outlining responsible development practices and how to promote appropriate access to content.

The only thing left is to lobby Congress to stop going after the industry on sex and violence. It worked for Hollywood, right?

Not a problem.

I also just noticed your sig. Useless factoid of the day -- My godmother's son was the paperboy in RE Apoc.

Small world, eh?

If by "lobby" you mean "line the pockets of," then yes it worked just fine.

Funnily enough, I was at the wedding of the actress who was Jill Valentine (my father's close friend's son the groom). And the stupid IMDB has it wrong, it's Sienna Cilente as of 2002.
