The Media is Accepting That Games Might Not Cause Violence

Gamers have long been treated poorly be the media. As far back as 1991 parents have appeared in the news complaining about the new mode of entertainment. As games advanced, becoming more realistic (and more violent) they have often been vilified. Some, such as Jack Thompson have made names for themselves as anti-gaming crusaders, claiming that video games have been responsible for all sorts of atrocities such as the Columbine and Virginia Tech Massacres.
