Gamer and YouTuber Charlie Goldberg says it's time to stop bashing video games and instead celebrate millions of American gamers who participate in a national industry that is valued at an estimated $36.9 billion. In this video Op-Ed, he debunks the claims of politicians who blame video games for mass shootings.
"This is GSD figures, which tracks all digital game sales from most major publishers (Nintendo data is absent), and physical game sales in all major European markets."
"The No.1 selling game in May this year was EA Sports FC 24, followed by Grand Theft Auto 5. F1 2024 races in at No.3. The PC release of Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut sends the PlayStation game up to No.4."
"11.6 million PC and console games were sold across European markets in May. Compared with the same five week period in 2023, that's a drop of nearly 17%."
"Hellblade 2, System Shock Remake, and the Rogue Prince of Persia all missing out on the Top 100."
I need an xbox fan to explain to me how Hellblade didn't even enter the top 100 since Game Pass doesn't effect sales and you guys are all just using the service as a trial to buy the games later.... /s (for sigh)
Also tell me again how 3.5 M sales first month for FF was bad...
If Microsoft didn't buy the developer this could have been a multiplatform game and if they wanted they still could have got it day 1 on Game Pass.
If I worked at Ninja Theory I'd be sprucing up my resume right about now.
Think it's pretty obvious to most that Hellblade 2 was a flop, it was setup to fail by skipping playstation and being sent to die on gamepass, especially on a platform where they openly mock playstation 'movie games', this being way more movie than any PS game.
Here we go.. too much barking about EA CEO getting a big bonus when the same ones are buying his games. So pathetic

Video games are always the scapegoat when it comes to violence or some mass shooting and yet Hollywood makes violent movies and there is no blame there. I play GTA V online and I am not going around shooting or killing real people because I know the difference between real life and fantasy. Usually people who do mass shootings are not all there in the head due to the way they were raised, how they were raised, or how they raised when growing up. If a kid has been bullied all his life and has no way to express or vent his anger then yes he might shoot a school. There is not enough support for people who have mental issues and if there is support the waiting line is usually longer then a bathroom line at a Slayer concert. It's not the gun killing that person its the idiot on the other end who decided to shoot that person the gun is only doing what it was made for.
It's as retarded as blaming a religion for horrendous acts.. If a person is sick it's regardless of what he plays or believes in. there is not much to do before it's too late..
