Not really a game relate, but it is considered game related cos it involves World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft website is having a monthly comic contest, that is more like, make something funny about WoW. they have certain rules which i can deal with
I mailed them if i can use certain light weight words, like boobies and crap, they said no, cos their game is rated teen.
Rated Teen????? wait wait, i saw blood and gore in WoW and other games they made! how can they be Teen!!!
thats why it jumps to this situation related to games.
Did game rating just evolved to being too strict?
I mean its just like schools nowadays, many people who experienced the past will say their teachers beat the crap out of them for punishment and/or discipline or something like that.
Now, if this happens, there will be lawsuits all over the place.
CYA, my friend. CYA.
Blizzard is just covering their asses. After all, if your comic won, was published, and some Tipper Gore wannabe got her panties in a bunch over "boobies and crap" Blizzard would have to deal with her.
By saying no to you they prevent that situation from happening, thus covering their asses.
Well yea
World of Warcraft is practically meant for all ages, their comics naturally cannot go beyond a teen rating. There is no blood in World of Warcraft nor any offensive material (unless you count players). All of their comics are in good taste and do not bash the game either which is also forbidden.
World of Warcraft wasted 3 or 4 years of my life which is why I am currently 3 months WoW free and will never ever go back. Way too many problems with the game and the lack of support despite all of the money they are making is sick. Pass.
