California Senator Leland Yee sent out a personal response from his website expressing his opinion about how the NRA responded to violent video games and placed a fair portion of the blame of why violence occurs nowadays on the gaming industry.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Grand Theft Auto V was released on PC on the 14th of April 2015. That means the game will be nine years old in four days, and it’s still among the most-played titles on Steam. With a 24-hour peak of 145K players, it’s as popular as Baldur’s Gate 3, Apex: Legends, and Destiny 2.
So basically he's saying that if the NRA had gone after video games earlier, he'd support their stance on them now?
if the second amendment gets touched, expect an american civil war.
My son works at Target and he says yesterday alone he had 10 different parents buying their kids BO2! They would ask him his opinion on what game to get and he would say "BOPS 2 is really popular, but how old are your kids?" majority of the parents said their kids age ranged from 8-15 years old. My son replied "well just to let you know its more of an adult game" The parents still took the game.
That being said guns are not the problem. As parents lets take responsibility for our parenting. two years ago my oldest son got in a fight at school and kicked a boy in the face. Did I blame UFC, No as a parent I realized letting him watch UFC might have been a bad idea. I just started letting him watch it again because he misses out being with me and his older brothers on fight nights.
I just think its dumb to place the blame on one certain product. Theres a reason that kids cant make decisions till their 18 because we are responsible as parents to guide them!
dont forget the tobacco industry blames everyone but themselves for lung cancer and chronic respiratory failure, just like the NRA blames everyone but themselves for mass shootings, and the accessibility of guns.
So now we got Senators trying to barrage people with this shit in the hopes that no one on the other side can possibly combat the strength in numbers?
No wonder they got a piss poor approval rate. And to think that people ELECT these fucking jokes!
