For a movie about aliens and sci-fi comedy, don't you think this line fits the situation perfectly?
As far as I'm aware, the majority could care much less about the deciding fate of the gaming industry. For all I know, despite our very vocal community, it is the voices of a select few that will ultimately decide this, and sadly, most of those few are still caught up in the hype and propaganda that games like Doom and Call of Duty will usher in "another Columbine" or D&D is a cult of devil worshippers.
Granted, the latter is more related to tabletop gaming, but I find it hard to believe the average joe could even bother with the details.
Common sense may have prevailed so far, but all it takes is someone to agree with the opposing party and it's all over.
If it ever comes to that, I'll at least look forward to the chain reaction it will no doubt cause to all forms of media.
