   The more serious violence problem with analog games appears to be that of gambling, on the one hand, and robberies against gamblers, on the other.

   With regards to your question, are you asking if we think we can censor what gets published or whether we would personally play games that present explicit violence? Two very different questions. No to the first and no to the second.

   In my case, I tend to avoid violent themes in my games for personal reasons. I tend to favor abstract competition or co-operative gameplay with themes that aren’t inherently violent. Heck, even though I have a game that literally has “fight” in the name, it actually plays more like a dance competition.
