quoted from the interview:

"I have a lot of doubts about content evolution. I'm afraid it’ll be many, many more years before creators and publishers take more responsibility with game ethics. I'm not talking about the un-nuanced politically correct from whom video games bear the brunt, but simply of an underlying ideology. People talk often of violence in games, but that’s not the problem. It’s truly the way a subject is approached, and what is communicated to players that must be considered. I'm not saying all games must have critical views on things; it’s possible, of course, to create them with that casual jewel of pure gameplay. I'm just saying that any creator or publisher has responsibilities, and must be conscious of things other than gameplay and money."

i love the guy
