It's a strange think that there's countless refrences to these studies BUT NO ONE HAS actually found a study which links Video games alone to violence. I am going to conduct a study into the dissapearances of these studies because if so many anti-gaming people can find them why can't anyone else?

Oh WAIT THEY ARE MADE UP. VIDEO GAMES DOES NOT AND NEVER HAS CAUSED VIOLENCE.

Here's another fact, the largest high school killing in the U.S happend BEFORE THE INVENTION OF THE VIDEO GAME.

common sense alone dictates other wise. How many millions of kids and adults play video games? And out of that how many people commit a crime, and at that a violent crime?

My point exactly. Every kid that plays video games that also happens to commit a crime also does things that lots of other kids do as well. Might as well go out and blame coca-cola for it, cause they all have that in common as well!

And breast feeding, most violent offenders would have been breast fed when they were young. Pretty obvious that that's the cause of all this. Violent crime was around before video games and so was breast feeding. CASE CLOSED!

I completely agree with Mr. Jeremy's unbiased opinion, and I may add that being a professional hitman myself, I consider videogames worse than murder./s

This brings back memories.

Remember when the HD DVD camp thought they were going to win solely because they had the porn industry backing them?

Good times!

He has even participated in video games TV and internet ads, hell he's starred as Mario in porn! But then again, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. He's a reasonable man, he advocates the regulation of the porn industry, so he probably just thinks that video games should have a strict regulatory system.

is like a Tobacco executive saying that incense is worse than cigarettes.

Palodios5235d ago

So if video games are worse than porn... What would you call Ron Jeremy's Super Mario brothers porn?

Well, an overdose of anything is lethal so nothing new here.
Videogames are made for fun, but when some people live the games they have an INFLUENCE on the games " making them real ".

basicsameh5145235d ago

evilmonkey5015235d ago

My wife doesn't mind if I kill people, but damn, if I get caught watching porn...I'm screwed.

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Garethvk18h ago

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

anast18h ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk17h ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

Garethvk18h ago

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
