  Well Mam good to see your vital addition to this comment section. Vince is a member of the Postal team, and he supports the ESRB ruling. Postal is a game that is on the fringe of good taste, and Derek has been around the industry for a while. It did say in MG's post who was interviewed, so you knew already. Who would you rather them interview who would have accepted? you?

        ironically enough he's the only one out of the three who really didn't know much about the story in the first place. He just shot out a quick answer. The others were actually interesting.

  Maybe because Vince works on Postal, which gets about as much attention
  from flaming Washington officials as GTA does?
  This gives him a good reason to be interviewed here...
  I don't know who Derek is but he's in the industry and his responses seem pretty intelligent so I will respect what he has to say here.
  
  And why ask questions when you just cry and point fingers at the people who respond to them?

      edit Nothing wrong not knowing who he is, of course, I didn't mean any offense. It's just that he's one of the most controversial figures on this whole game development market. Googling his name will show you why.
      
      Not in a Rockstar, Postal kind of way though. I don't understand why they interviewed him and not other makers of 17+ games. Maybe because he has worked with Take2 in the past.

  Vince is a cool guy who has a lot to say on the subject. In fact, that's pretty much all he talked about in my brief correspondence with him.
