Our Rentaquote Future: Games As Warcrimes

Since John or Jim don't appear to be going to link to it, I bloody will. BBC News ran a story today about two swiss organizations doing research into war crimes.

Except you don't have to imagine. They asked us, and Jim and John are quoted arguing games' side. Go read.
