Some games manufacturers have already begun pre-screening their latest games. These manufacturers include Ubisoft, the games developer responsible for the title that triggered a seizure in Gaye’s son. These manufacturers are demonstrating a conscientious attitude towards the safety of gamers. They inspire some confidence that regulations may not be necessary if manufacturers will all voluntarily screen their products. But would all manufacturers be as conscientious?
“The games industry has tried to be responsible,” says John. “But if measures remain voluntary, there is the possibility that a small-scale manufacturer from another part of the world may not adhere to it. You may get one or two rogue games creeping through. Nevertheless, starting off with a voluntary approach may be the fastest way to get this done. Getting laws through Parliament is a slow and careful process. A voluntary code may be the fastest way to get a lot of the benefit, even if the system is not perfect.”
