The Red Cross has clarified that it was never planning to prosecute gamers who breached the laws of war in video games: it was simply hoping that game developers would incorporate the Geneva and Hague conventions into their games.
The Red Cross wouldn’t be drawn on how many gamers they expected to purchase expansion packs such as Gears of War: Referred to the Security Council and Halo: Calling on All Sides to Show Restraint.
Most developers plan to avoid modifying gameplay, and simply add on a 17-year-long cut scene in which your character is tried and convicted at the International Criminal Court, jailed in relative comfort for 12 years, and then released on compassionate grounds due to your ill-health, as indicated in the top right of the screen.
Despite the move from the Red Cross, FIFA says it will still take action against widespread doping in Pro Evolution Soccer.
