Supreme Court decision: Video Games merit 1st amendment protection

That's right, y'all, breaking news. You heard it here first, before the EE, PDB, SSF and whatever acronym you want to put together. The Supreme Court has just ruled that video games deserve first amendment protection, just like art.

The whole ruling is here: http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/10pdf/08-1448.pdf

Video games are arguably one of the highest art forms out there.

The best video game writers are screenplay/book writers.

The best video game renderers can sculpt in real life

The best texture artist can actually paint because you must first understand color and the basic art form before you can be good on a computer.

And the best concept video game artist work outside the industry doing just that..drawing in every field imaginable besides just video games..in almost any design, it all starts with a pencil...and that's what they use as they create designs that will be rendered/textured afterwards-- and that's as artsy as it gets.

All of these guys above come together to execute a highly involved project that can take as long as 7 years or so.

So why in the heck did this take so long?
