More game burnings!
In my humble opinion it doesn't seem right that scenes, no matter how awesome, must be removed from games just because they could potentially cause seizures. More bubble wrap for me please...

I mean if you get a TV thats poorly designed that might give you an electric shock you when switching it on, would you think thats safe for sale?

If you fall over, well that's your fault for not stopping. It's kinda the same with games, if it makes you uncomfortable, then stop playing.
If theres not a warning on there then how do you know its safe?? Thats like saying if you touch the TV and you get a shock and die cos your prone to it, then well tought luck, there should be standards for this type of thing as its done with movies and TV.
Also alcohols different as it carries a warning and its effects are well known, in this case there not, and I beleve that the fits can just come on without any warning.
The simple facts of the matter are is there a risk to users = yes, then put some thing in place, simple.

Anyways, what I'm trying to say is that its not the game's fault that a small number of people have seizures when they play the game and that developers don't have to suffer more with more anti-game hysteria.
Take this for example. I am allergic to nuts. I may fall over and stop moving if I eat so much as one. That doesn't mean I go around banning everything and demand that a warning label should be slapped on everything. I just be more careful, like read the ingredients list first, since what right do I have to impose restrictions upon others? People should know that anything flashing can potentially cause seizures, just like that I know that food can potentially contain nuts and exercise more caution.

Err but if say you were susceptable to them, and you didnt read the warnings, ie like with smoking, and you say played them at a friends house and you ended up dead, or even if you were in your early teens and (as I thought) imune to most things and thought "ohh i'll be ok" and ended up dead/coma do you think that your parents wouldent see a problem???
In all reality, if they can cause seizures then they shouldent be allowed, simple, regardless of how cool it looks, its a consumer product, if youve ever worked in industry that deals with the pubic then thats how you have to think, im thinking theres no discussion with this if its a danger to people and it can be regulated then regulate it, its an emmerging technology that otherwise hadnt been noticed to cause these things so look at it that way not "ohh it looks cool, if SOME people get seizures, and they didnt read the warning, then tough" then thats wrong considering that there aimed for everyone.
Should also say that for instance you dont even need to be plaing the game to have it, you could be watching without knowing that it might cause a problem.
Oh and as for warnings on alcohol it depends where you come from, but I doubt that Autodesk thought of putting warnings about alcohol in a scene file.

Further more, there are hundreds, if not millions of other seizure triggers out there. Why not have warning labels on them as well? A lot of them would most likely be unintentional and have no effect on most people.

I was referring to real alchohol... seriously, there's a few bottles of wine and brandy buried in the cuboards in my place and they don't have warning labels, nor do the vodka we once brought for a friend of ours.

what the **** are you talking about?Originally posted by Altadena
only a liberal democrat could make a stupid idiotic law like that
I don't think any content should be removed from a game, but if it has the potential to give someone a seizure than obviously it should have a warning. If only so the company can avoid a lawsuit.
the reason food with nuts should have a warning on it is because if you're allergic to nuts than eating something with them in it could potentially kill you. that's got nothing to do with being liberal or a democrat. it's called common sense.

Its like the architect said, should we ban nuts just because some people are alergic to them? I am alergic to cats. Should we get rid of all the cats? I personally think yes hahaha
