The Chill is directed at people who foresee a gaming apocalypse where innovation dies and boobie games fill up the vacuum. Simply not going to happen. I know this is a small sample but in Watertown a book shop is on the verge of closing because it sells the occasional porn. That would be Book World. The ratio of clean to dirty books is easily 20 or 30 to one but because it has couple of Penthouses and the like its totally getting the royal screwjob. Now imagine if a game with full frontal nudity comes out! The community would go MESHUGGAH! Wal-Mart edits off entire Wu-Tang Clan songs, do you really think they'll sell an Adult-rated game? Christ, they don't even sell Maxims without hassles anymore! What major retailer is going to want to take the image of being a purveyor of digital filth? Shopko? No bloody way. Radio Shack? Not an effin' chance. Every single major retailer's bottom line would be hurt dramatically if they sold those bullshit games.
