Following the story regarding a disgruntled gamer who found Bioshock Infinite\u2019s baptism scene to go against his beliefs<\/a>, a debate started regarding whether you would quit a game on moral grounds.<\/p>\n

GamePolitics ran a survey which asked gamers if they had ever stopped playing for moral reasons, and the votes have been counted.<\/p>\n

677 people voted, with the majority (60 percent, 405 votes) saying that they had never stopped due to a game pushing the moral boundaries.<\/p>\n

20 percent (137 votes) said “no, but there are games I refuse to play for moral reasons\u201d, while 12 percent said to that they have quit a game due to morals and beliefs being tested.<\/p>\n

Seven percent said that they had come close to quitting, while one percent said that they have quit a game, but ultimately came back and continued playing.<\/p>\n

What do you think of the stats? Have you ever quit a game based on moral grounds?\u00a0 Let us know below and in the forums.<\/p>\n

MyGaming recently had a chat with the ESRB<\/a>\u00a0and PEGI<\/a> ratings boards to get a better understanding of what is considered religious discrimination.<\/p>\n
