Microsoft Responds To Reports Of Xbox Live Account 'Jacking' Traditionally, historically, video games and religion don’t mix.
If four-hour gaming sessions of killing, stealing, coveting thy neighbour’s ox or donkey, and breaking every other Commandment leaves you feeling distant from the Lord, a Bible application is coming to Xbox Live’s Indie Games channel.
Bruce Everiss, an industry vet who’s worked at companies like Imagine and Codemasters, feels that games are being judged for content in a much harsher manner than other media. So he picked a comparison text at what we’re sure was completely random (the Bible) and scanned it for adult content. There is a handy website that allows you to search the bible for content. Using this we find that the King James version has “harlot” in it 48 times, “sodomite” 5 times, “fornicator” 5 times, “smite” 133 times, “kill” 208 times and “maim” 7 times. This is shocking, you have to wonder what any right minded parent is doing exposing their children to this stuff.
So now kids can’t play games OR read the Bible? Thanks a lot, Everiss.
