In a panel held today at the MI6 Game Marketing Conference in San Francisco, members from various quarters of the industry discussed problems - and some solutions - around regulation and rating of video game content.

Present were Entertainment Software Ratings Board president Patricia Vance, Microsoft XNA Community Game Platform general manager Boyd Multerer, and Sony Computer Entertainment America legal and support marketing representative Tony Justman. Newsweek's N'Gai Croal moderated the session.

Finally, Justman seemed confident in the correcting power of legal action to work out kinks in the system along the way. Responding to a question from Croal about profanity in karaoke game SingStar, he said, "Luckily, that's someone else in my department's problem."

"All it'll take is a few well-publicized lawsuits to get us on the right track," he added. "We'll learn as we go."

Thats right. Scare everyone to get what you want. "But Mr. Lawmaker, why not you understand. I did it for teh lulz!" :pac:
