Red Cross wants the gaming industry to stop using its symbol

Had WWE just changed their name for shows outside the U.S., this all could have been avoided.

In my mind, they should have just gone back to WWWF, or made it an angle wher ethey became WCW or ECW for a bit.

WWF just sounds better to me.

The part that pisses me off most is that the Red Cross is taking money that should be used to save lives, and instead using it to pay some team of douchebag lawyers.

Anyway, if games need a new health symbol, then why not just use something that we already recognize, like hearts, or turkey legs?

Well, turkey legs were already mocked in the Tekken Force modes, so those are out. A heart works for some genres, while the already-used green cross works for pretty much any genre.

I don't think I've ever actually seen a green cross on a health item in a game, but I've seen it on real first aid kits, so I guess it makes sense.
I just think it would be funny to have beat'em up style health items in all games.
