The Colorado tragedy was a senseless crazy act by an insane individual, but was it caused by video games? That's what an analyst on CNN said he attributed the violence to.
Nameer from eXputer: "Some exceptions aside, I don't think the battle pass is a net positive for gaming with how they're implemented in most live service titles."
Sony is taking actions as video by Moore’s Law is Dead, has been issued with a copyright claim.
And people say it's all fake because Sony haven't said anything 😂 conveniently forget the PS4 Pro was only announced 2 months before release.
Just announce it already! I want to preorder one asap. But in reality they don’t want to lessen PS5 sales until Pro is ready to launch so I understand the business part of it. September is probably when they announce it with an early November launch like the PS4 Pro
I would take that video and upload a torrent of it, fuck that copyright bullshit. If your going to do something that has a chance of being taken down, make a torrent first share it. Then Sony or any other company is helpless and you can laugh in their faces, taunting them to try to take it down 🤣
As much as the PS4 Pro didn't represent a major % in the playerbase, announcing a 'better' model will hinder sales from the 'base' model. They are right, business-wise.
The CFPB issued a report examining the growth of digital commerce in online video games and virtual worlds.
Anyone defending their company of choice is smoking something. I’ll provide just a small part of the article. If you really care about the future of gaming you have to recognize all of these companies are just using you to make money by selling off that info. They literally have a profile on you.
“Gaming companies are assembling gamers’ personal and behavioral data: Publishers are collecting large amounts of data on players, including behavioral details such as financial data, purchasing history and spending thresholds. Gaming platforms can also track players’ location data, which can generate an accurate portrait of a player’s daily routines, such as their home address, places of employment or worship, and health and medical status. And with the advent of virtual- and mixed-reality gaming, the information gathered by headsets may include biometric data such as iris scans, eye movement, pupil response, and gait analysis, which may pose medical privacy risks.”
Want to still go with the narrative that your company cares???
Jesus Christ... video games doesn't make anyone violent.
I've been playing video games for so many years now, I've never got the urge to kill anyone.
It's just such an easy excuse for people to make when trying to explain something that is inexplicable, like these shootings were.
Video Games are a catalyst for normal human beings to have fun and simplify there time, perhaps experience art such as many titles.
Psychopaths were always going to kill somebody weather they picked up a game of mario or not.
Video Games can actually be therapeutic given the right circumstances and individual.
This is reminiscent of so many cases that seem to crop up. Where people that don't actually have any insight into a persons' mindset at or prior to an atrocity are asked their opinion. Pat Brown gave this one (that's the one you just read the headline of in case you were wondering).
http://www.foxnews.com/ente... Leonard Berkowitz gave this one.
Here it is for you lazy f#@%ers that don't want to give Fox the hit: “There have been a tremendous number of studies showing that violent movies can indeed increase the likelihood that somebody in the audience will act aggressively,” He then continued with "“There is considerable research that such an effect could have indeed taken place. Just as people get sexual ideas from watching a sexual movie, other people can get aggressive ideas from watching an aggressive movie. Those members of the of the audience who have some violent tendencies or an aggressive disposition may then be influenced to act upon those ideas.”
Seems strange that both Pat and Lenny missed the fact that the person in question had just had their life fall apart. The obviously lack of any support network (friends/family) and the lack of effort put in by the College (that tossed him out) to ensure his well being don't even rate a mention. I mean are we suppose to believe this guy simply woke one morning and decided: "today's the day I train to become a mass murderer." I mean seriously. What a crock!
As far as I'm concerned, if the causes were treated (or at least noticed) there wouldn't be any need for scapegoating. The damn thing wouldn't have happened in the first place. Of course people would have to accept responsibility for their actions (or lack there of) after the fact. Which brings us back to scapegoating.
F#@%in' marvelous isn't it. I'm gettin' dizzy.
