I...can't tell if you're being sarcastic. So, yes, to a degree. Do you see that shit happen in film or with books? The key difference between the two mediums and video games, actually, is that rich people got to them first. As much as I have a general distaste for rich peolle, when you have an aristocracy that sets the rules, and then the medium goes down to the mid to lower class, yeah, bomb threats are generally filtered out. Every other medium has a balance between common denominator crap and art crap. Video games don't. In fact, we're seeing LESS art crap, because of a large subsection of immature angry people that don't want it, and an industry that doesn't get paid for making those types of art games.
