I wonder how many pockets were lined to get them to back down. The Gaming industry certainly has the assets to lobby who ever they want. This is hardly a clear cut vindication for video gamers or the gaming industry.

I don't see how it's any different than gambling addiction, the only difference is you don't loose hard cash every time you push a button (unless your getting nutty with the gold in WOW, but thats another story).

With all that said, I do loves me some Halo, Super Paper Mario, StarCraft, and Command and Conquer.

If the gaming industry has such great lobbying power, why are the majority of our politicians on a "moral crusade" against video games?
