Jessica Rovello, Co-Founder and President of the casual/social/advergame firm Arkadium, has authored [URL=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jessica-rovello/131-million-reasons-the-s_b_639054.html]an opinion piece on the Huffington Post[/URL] that cross references a CNBC piece from [URL=http://gamepolitics.com/2010/07/06/industry-leaders-schwarzenegger-v-ema]earlier this week[/URL] (in which game executives fretted over the Schwarzenegger v. EMA SCOTUS ruling) with new statistics just released from Rockstar’s hit Red Dead Redemption.

Writing that “Since a significant portion of the industry's best selling triple A console titles are loaded with violence, it [a Supreme Court ruling for the California law] could mean a huge drop in profits for major game publishers,” Rovello noted that Rockstar had just released news [URL=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/101863-Red-Dead-Redemption-Players-Murder-132-Million-People-in-Two-Weeks]that players had murdered over 132 million people[/URL] in Red Dead Redemption over the first two weeks of its release.

The timing of the release of the stats gave Rovello pause. She wrote: [URL=http://www.gamepolitics.com/2010/07/08/arkadium-prez-bad-timing-release-red-dead-murder-stats][B][COLOR=#8e0505]Read More[/COLOR][/B][/URL]
