They're just for fun. To believe all this bullshit is stupid. Do people not realize that BILLIONS of people play videogames? And how often do we hear about these shootings that people somehow link to violent videogames? Has anyone ever thought "Well, maybe they were just a psycho to begin with." Or maybe, these stupid parents should really stop buying games like GTA and CoD for their little 8 year old. I played games like those when I was a kid, but the difference between the games I played and games now is they all try hard to look realistic. Bloody. Games I played were pixelated and looked terrible. Now they're saying shooters train how to shoot a gun. Glenn Beck, one of those political speakers claimed Watch Dogs teaches you how to hack. A game that has you press one single button to do something that in real life would require long long lines of complex code that to the normal person would look like gibberish. Keep in mind that Glenn Beck is highly respected to many people and even people who dislike him or disagree with him may still consider him as intelligent. His video literally consisted of him reading a preview of what Watch Dogs was about, and then made the conclusion that it will teach you to become a hacker. Millions of people viewed this, and I garantee a good 50% believed that bullshit. All these adults just listen to the media. "Scientists claim they do this to you" If they did, why arent 75% of the gaming population out killing people? Instead of the small 0.0001% that are?
Totally agree. If some psycho shoots up a joint then claims a videogame inspired him to do it I think its safe to say his mind was already fucked and that game only affected him because he took it seriously due to a prior unstable mental condition
Just as this guy said, they do nothing to people and violent people were already violent. You don't need video games to know how to hurt someone but non-gamers just want something to blame. Since they've hardly played or understood games, its easy to point fingers.
Honestly, games are great fun and everyone playing them knows that its all just animated fantasy. I've met some great friends online that I wouldn't have met if it weren't for MMOs also.
What do violent video games do to people?
