This can also be applied to video games …

Gangnam Style without Music.

Funny. What's sad is that if you remove the music from a music video, it's GEMA-compatible.

For the record, in Germany most music videos on Youtube are blocked because of GEMA, our version of the RIAA. We can't even see the original Gangam Style without a proxy, even though the video is officially royalty free.

Everyone please read this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultivation_theory

It's an very interesting article - and it fits good to my long-held suspicion that a similar process is going on with video games, too.
