The media likes to try and tie video games into every violent act out there, but does their habit of turning killers into celebrities act as the biggest inspiration to these glory killers?
The GTA 5 Agent Trevor DLC episode could have been a real treat for fans on PlayStation and Xbox, before it was scrubbed sometime before 2017.
With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.
I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.
Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder
One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
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.
The freedom to explore large areas, approach objectives in multiple ways, and stumble across amusing distractions will always be an excellent format for video games, but some do it better than others. To celebrate the formula and parse the best from the best, have a look at the best open-world games of all time so far.
Possibly does, I remember people talking about some psychologist or something saying that it was dont know who though.
I wouldn't say it is the biggest inspiration, but many killers have said it pushed them over the edge. They did it for the attention.
Celebrating the lives of those lost and rarely referring to the murderers would be a huge step in the right direction.
Unfortunately, news stations shut down without strong ratings. :/
Yes. It does. Attention and fame is exactly what they want. If your going to do the inevitable then you might as well go down in the history books right?
Of course the media influences violence. With the amount of coverage they have, plus the way they focus on a violent act and going into specific detail, it can lead to some very disturbed individuals to thinking that doing what another shooter did is their glory moment. It is then that they try to top what the other did. They want the attention and recognition, they want their picture in the headlines, and they want their final act on Earth to be remembered. These people are being fed what is needed to get that from the media.
Many of us gamers aren't the only ones to make the connection that the media are the ones who instigate violence. The video I have linked here is from Total Biscuit who has his own perspective on the subject.
