More video game news craziness
After taking a brief hiatus from blogging, I decided to check on how my pet project was doing. I was glad to see that it was handling well, which is more than I can say for the state of the worlds of gaming and politics.
I was reading about this report which shows yet another video game bill that is pending passage. What caused me to laugh at this report is that the law has provisions for items such as consoles having parental controls. The point of humor is that they are already there!
Just another example of our legislators being completely out of touch with video game culture.
Fortunately, I was buoyed by the positive reinforcement of this piece, which shows the extent to which games can serve a positive role in our society.
These two reports clearly demonstrate that games can be used as a force of good, if politicians would only give them a chance. Sadly, it will take a while before that happens.
