There's overwhelming support for video game publishers and developers offering more information and being generally more open with the community. I certainly support it. As Joey Davidson and I said on Episode 82 of Power Button, all of us on both sides of the equation are in this industry because of (in addition to other factors) a love of games, and that love of games should bring us all closer together rather than driving us apart.
