Serious answer:

From a legal point of view, it's unlikely that the U.S. government would be able to enforce censorship on video games that are produced, distributed, and purchased by private entities and individuals. Games are considered art and computer code is generally considered to be speech, which means both are protected under the First Amendment. Any restrictions therefore would be subject to strict scrutiny oversight from the courts, which imposes a very high burden on the government to show such restrictions are necessary. Governmental restrictions that attempt to limit First Amendment freedoms are almost always found to be unconstitutional by the courts.

video games have become garbage over the past decade anyway because all of the mid-sized companies have either been bought out or gone bankrupt, and the rise of indie games has resulted in the planet-sized egos of the people who make them. also konami's sitting on a bunch of IPs (MGS, Castlevania, Silent Hill, Contra, Mystical Ninja, Bomberman ever since Hudson Soft died out, just to name a few) but they're not making video games out of them anymore

Actually hissy fits are extremely effective today, just look at the public's reaction to Bruce Jenner coming out. Every public figure was deathly scared of going against the narrative that he is a brave role model.

id argue that video games are getting garbage because there hasn't been any sort of mechanical innovation and we keep forgetting about poo poo that is actually fun and well made. like i guess game designers just follow trends but the modern trends don't really make great games, if anything they're kind of counter-intuitive to the good game thing

like ubisoft has made the exact same identical game three, four times a year for like half a decade at this point.

the first person shooter has been in a hole since call of duty and to a lesser extent halo. i dont particularly dislike call of duty it just isnt the ur-shooter. you can make a first person shooter that isn't claustrophobic and disorienting, aim down sights and sprinting are not necessary

they're releasing skyrim again to great fanfare despite the fact that its basically a half assed fan project that still contains pitfalls that have been in their engine since morrowind. it aint bad, but its so flawed anything more than light praise comes off as empty

someone makes a good lite game like gone home and people lose their minds over it for being sjw trash and boring despite the fact that it just stole bioshock's storytelling style and did it better (without anything else, lol)

any industry that's been consolidated to the point where a few companies control most of the output has a problem with creative stagnation, and video games since the ps3/360/wii era are no exception. that's around the time the middle got squeezed out

i'd like to think that FPS games are making a comeback since overwatch and Doom 2016 don't follow the mold of the call of duty-style shooter, but two games don't necessarily make a trend

Basically video games have turned into Hollywood and that's why they suck. It costs insane amounts of money to make a big movie, so they make them all sequels and remakes so people go see them and try to make them appeal to as wide of an audience as possible. Likewise it takes a stupid amount of money and manpower to make a video game and that leads to people playing it safe. If your project bombs, you're totally hosed. It doesn't help that all the middle-tier devs went the way of the dodo so now just the big giants and little cellphone shovelware companies and indie devs who are up their own assholes are left. Technology improved but the actual economics and logistics of making games that take advantage of this improved tech just couldn't keep up. They also all still cost $60 but cost way more to make, so they have to release half finished games with DLC you get later to even make a profit.

tl;dr Capitalism ruined video games along with everything else
