Hitler would have been influenced by violent video games say researchers

Adolf Hitler, maniacal dictator of Nazi Germany and murderer of millions, would almost certainly have been influenced by violent video games had they existed, it has emerged.

In yet another blow for the much-maligned industry, researchers at the University of Cambridge, England, have confirmed that had controversial video games such as Grand Theft Auto 4, Saints Row: The Third and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 been available in the 1930s, Hitler’s reign of terror would have been significantly more brutal.

I REALLY hope whoever didnt get paid to come up with that, what a moron

Neckbear4129d ago

Oh come on, it was kinda amusing.

ProjectVulcan4128d ago (Edited 4128d ago )

Everyone knows Hitler doesn't care about COD or GTA, his fave game is Meincraft.

EddieNX 4128d ago

@Vulcan project- You deserve some sort of oscar for your comment.

MmaFan-Qc4128d ago

i guess Hitler was inspired by the dangerous and brainwashing evil CLASSICAL MUSIC!!!!

we should ban music and erase all trace of Richard Wagner work to prevent other hate crimes and genocides.

Damn you classical music, DAAAMMMMNNNN YOOOOUUUU!!!!!!!!!

It's obvious the Wagner is an evil influence, look what it did to Elmer Fudd

Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit! :)

Yeah, he probably WOULD have been influenced by videogames....

...and he would have been so desensitized and placated that he would've sat in his Mom's basement playing CoD: Belgium At War and would have never started the Nazi party.

HarryMasonHerpderp4128d ago

This is satire before people start going crazy lol.

ZombieNinjaPanda4128d ago

Terrible article. Why? Because it's blatant sarcasm, to people that are smart. The people who think video games are causing violence aren't smart. Therefore using something as advanced as sarcasm, they won't understand it and they'll just think you're agreeing with them and being serious.

eatcrayons4128d ago

Something like Poe's law right? A sufficiently advanced parody is indistinguishable from actual fundamentalist bullshit?

ZombieNinjaPanda4128d ago

Correct! But does Poe's law apply to people that are essentially stupid?

rainslacker4128d ago

At least we can laugh at them when they use this as proof in the future. You know it's coming.

LackTrue4K4128d ago

"and some developers would of been influenced by Hitler"

zerocrossing4128d ago

Have you heard of EA? lol I kid... well a little, maybe.

zerocrossing4128d ago

Still waiting on that "If Hitler were a gamer he would have played ???" article....

GribbleGrunger4128d ago (Edited 4128d ago )

Good lord, what will they think of next? I'm not beyond discussion on the subject of whether video games do or don't influence 'some' people, but this is absolute nonsense; although it could (and probably is, 'hopefully'), a tongue in cheek jab at the naysayers.

There is way to much no stated in the article about the study to really past judgement. A source link would be much appreciated

digitalscrutiny4128d ago

I'm pretty certain it is a joke about the way everyone blames videogames for everything.

TheFinalEpisode4129d ago (Edited 4129d ago )

Pics or it wouldn't have happened!

ZeroChaos4128d ago

You know people are desperate to discredit games when they have to bring him into the mix.

cyclindk4128d ago (Edited 4128d ago )

It's official... video games caused the Holocaust, yet... we still.. buy them.

Also, if nothing else, (without commenting on the ludicrous claims made by this study) it proves that WITHOUT video games, something like the Holocaust and all the other atrocities of this world have and still occur on a daily basis.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
