Justification for the ‘games made me do it’ defense
Ever wonder why lawyers, politicians, associations and organizations favor the ‘games are evil’ line so much?
While the actual reason is likely to elude many for a while, Gamepolitics has an interesting report here that explains the rationale behind why this line has been able to garner believeability.
After reading it, I believe more than ever that once gamers grow up to influence our society, this statement will be eradicated.
Speaking of politics, as everyone knows, a group of supporters remain bitter that Hillary Clinton failed to secure the nomination for president. While Obama has made inroads to appeasing them, he still has a long way to go in some respects.
Gamepolitics was able to delve into the mind of a game designer who shares these views here. In reading it, I have to say that I sincerely hope she recognizes Obama’s strengths and see that he and Clinton really are one in the same in various ways.
I hope this election and inauguration goes smoothly.
Gamers will win out in the “games are evil£ debate without doubt.
Have you noticed that since gaming has become more and more mainstream less attention has been paid to television music and movies as the source of all evil?
It begs the question “what will be the next big evil” that older generations blame their problems on?
