Court Rules that Video Games are Constitutionally Protected

Here

This is great news, especially given the decision last year that held games to not be speech. Not only that, but the court praised games with interactive storylines.

Rock. I am so glad to read that. It makes sense that they would be in the same boat as books and movies.

It does rather make sense considering that those choose your own path books are interactive and still considered books and speech.

I should also add that the court case ruling video games to not be protected speech was based on four games: Doom, Fear Effect, Mortal Combat (sic), and (get ready for this one) The Resident of Evil Creek (sic).

What the hell is The Resident of Evil Creek?

A bastardization of Resident Evil perpetuated by a judge (or more likely, his clerk) who obviously didn't bother to do his research before the decision.

Someone should have had the judge play Deus Ex, a game with an involving conspiracy storyline, many situations with multiple solutions, a choose-your-own ending, and an immersive first person view.
