Can't we just go back to the times where games were about good controls, secrets, high scores, and a good time?

Well, you'd better lose weight quick or you won't ever see the end of Fable 3!  Seriously, this is a dumb idea, even if they do mean well. "

Explain that joke to me. "

"i actually really like this idea, and think it would work for a lot of people. Considering all the gamers that value their e-penis, having a fat avatar would be inexcusable.  "

Meh, I'd just go to PC games. And if it effected old games, sell some and grab a PS3 or something.
 
Doubt this'll actually come to fruition though. Sounds...I don't know. Don't care, really. Creepy as all hell though for the other stuff though.
 
"The physical characteristics can be further extended to psychological traits associated with the physical person, including intelligence, religious beliefs, political affiliations, and hobbies that affect the rendering of an avatar," the application reads."
 
So, we can't keep religious flame wars just to the Internet forums now? One thing though, how the hell can those "affect the rendering of an avatar"? That's the one thing that piques my interest.

 As you wish: "Alternatively or in addition, the degree of health can unlock additional playing time or can unlock certain aspects of a game, such as additional levels." "

" @ryanwho:   It is neither irresponsible nor a double standard of any sort.  A restaurant is free to ban smoking if they don't want it around, but they cannot ban smokers.  The argument that fat people hurt restaurant business carries no legal weight.  Burn victims often cause people to lose their appetites; should a restaurant be allowed to refuse them service?  How about ugly people?  Being fat, like these other examples, is within no immediate control.  I can choose not to smoke for an hour or two, but one cannot choose not to be fat for an hour or two.  That obesity is often the result of one's own actions is irrelevant. "

What's going to be next? They won't let you see swastikas and blood if you are German?!

Oh, wait.

Great, now Microsoft wants to lower my self esteem, too.

" First, they came for the fat gamers, and I did not speak out, for I was not fat. And then they came for the stupid gamers, and I did not speak out, for I was not stupid. And then they came for the ugly gamers... and there was no one left to speak out for me. "
