I'd say the government banning all games that don't fit in the E category would be catastrophic. What shall we do as gamers?

I like the suspense that a Teen or Mature rated game offers.

I don't know, the first and third options are both very horrible for different reasons. I guess the First option would be worse because atleast E-rated games can still be good, while the first option would probably turn me away from gaming, unless I so happen to get filthy stinkin' rich.

But you can still buy used/resell and lend/borrow, correct? Now imagine if you couldn't do that because every game will be locked to one console and account.

This is true. We aren't forced into buying buys at that price, but it's still kinda common, especially for the big releases.

Good thing that places like ozgameshop exist.

if laws preventing games sales to minors are retracted.. thatd be the worst.

I can't tell if you're joking and what you're trying to say. Are you saying it's bad we can't let minors learn to become competitive games but it's also abd we are desensitizing them to adult language? You're bad at English and seem to like Japanese culture a lot, I'm wondering if you're actually Japanese? :P

Too many boring, mediocre (at best) games in any one particular genre, dominating all other genres in sales and limiting developer creativity (one of the worst things that could happen).

Games becoming more expensive is definitely the worst thing that could happen.

The second worst thing is motion controls becoming the norm. I don't understand why game companies continue to try to push motion control so much and try to convince us that motion control is fun and innovative when it's really not.

The third worst thing is all games becoming digital. Meaning you can't buy games in stores anymore, no more physical discs.

-Sony leaving the industry, it would be almost 100% casual and motion controlled.

-Every game having multiplayer

-DLC getting out of control

-Government intervening in any way
