That's actually a quite complex statement, since distros like Debian apparently expect content to be open as well for inclusion in teh repository.

well i don't speak german, and my memory is a bit fuzzy, but it was some sort of "investigative news" story for television about violence and video games, about 10-15 minutes long. I think the segment was centered around some recent news story.

Most of it was voice-over narration while they showed various footage. For about 2 minutes, the footage was some teenage or twentysomething guys, about four of them, in some dark basement or garage playing a small LAN game of sauerbraten.

Another segment seemed to be someone in the Crytek offices showing off Farcry.

Another segment was some people in the forest doing paintball or shooting guns or something.

uff.. finally got it. the video is not complete, you can see the guys playing cube on minute 5:20 though. for those who don't speak german:

5:20
----

focus tv: [..] the clan fighternight.de meets on the attic floor. at first they play warcraft 3.. shooting till the aliens come. every half our the players need some extra adrenalin: they start cube. now they all fight each other (ffa), it's all about killing.

random player 1: the map is quite small and only the people here at the lan are participating, there are no computer controlled enemies. it's about competition.

focus tv: hardly any game is more hectic and faster than cube. the goal is to eliminate all the enemies within a ~minute.

camera guy: now seriously, how long can you guys master this game? its quite fast.

random player: it depends on how often one plays such games and if one is used to it. me personally, i could not play this game here longer than 0.5h - 1h.

camera guy: what happens then?

random player: no idea, i don't know. i think after that, you'll get crazy or something, or it will become real-life, i don't know *laughs*.

WOW

What's funny is that's immediately followed by my ex-employer :)

What's not so funny is that they insinuate that playing Cube makes you crazy... presumably wanting to do a school shooting afterwards.

I wouldn´t worry too much. The guy who said it probably already regrets it. Guess he only later realized how that came out.

Besides, FocusTV is really known to be bad jorunalism, very biased and populistic.

Most people in germany have already realized that "those killer games" aren´t the real cause for young ppl go amok. It´s just the thing politicians can use as a scapegoat in their immediate reactions to look as if they were able to deal with the problem.

The established media did not take that stance. They were criticising the german politicians to blame it on the "killer games" only actually.

Here's the problem I have with the show. Firstly, they didn't actually denounce World of Warcraft for the brutality. Know why? Lawyers. They dare not say anything bad about that game. On the other hand you have Cube which to my knowledge has no industrial strength lawyers. Easy target for the sharks in broadcasting. They were simply out to make people react and, as always, they choose the easiest target. What to do.

Oh god.

They aren't actually going to pass that bill are they? Germany is killing one of their biggest and growing industries.

Thats assuming they haven't already, banning games like Gears of War and editing the shit out of every FPS, then prosecuting game devs when someone makes a blood patch or something.

.. has the whole world gone mad?

I think you should go to E3 or GCS with this game and set up a booth and/or hand out free copies.
