Or, for that matter, no CoH in Tennessee, either, if a certain state senator there has his way.
State Sen. Tommy Kilby of Wartburg has proposed a bill making it a misdemeanor for stores to sell or rent violent video games to anyone.
Kilby says he put the bill together after getting feedback from concerned parents and law enforcement officials.
The bill states games depicting violence against anyone including authority figures, such as police, should be outlawed.
So no more taking out RIPs on Mercy Island, I guess. Or seeing villains beating on cops in the Hollows.
Heck, what qualifies as an authority figure? How about the bad guys who “rule” in other Portal Corp-accessed dimension? Can I still actually try to take down Psychic Babbage? How about assaulting Arachnos agents when we’re ostensibly in Rogue Isles territory (as a hero or a villain)?
Are the bosses in the Circle of Thorns religious leaders? Do they qualify? Are we going to run into trouble with anti-hate laws, too?
Or, for that matter — as super-heroes, are we heroes considered authority figures, too? If we’re deputized in some fashion, I’d think so. Does this mean that all the villains will have to be nerfed to scream and run away?
Short of that, will I get in trouble if I take my CoH-loaded notebook to our Oak Ridge or Tullahoma offices?
Goofy.
