We see these come and go. Aside from the mandatory labeling on boxes, not much has changed in the US. I'm not expecting much to come from this unless a bigger lobby gets behind it with more money and studies to push through bigger legislation. Stuff like showing photo ID before buying violent video games, specifically making "M for Mature" require 18+ years have been goals in the past (though its more Moms/Dads/Relatives buying for minor children, but I digress). That partially addresses his quote from the article:
Show nested quote +
“Major corporations, including the video game industry, make billions on marketing and selling violent content to children,” Rockefeller said in an e-mailed statement. “They have a responsibility to protect our children. If they do not, you can count on the Congress to take a more aggressive role.”

And then sterner warnings on the back directed at parents. For a contemporary example, look at South Korea's mandated warnings currently existing on every SC2-Korea game launch (18+ drugs alcohol scary situations, and 12+ as well iirc). Those are my predictions to what we can expect from bills in the next 2 years if the lobbies get even more political power.

It's probably just political games for popularity, and like you said, these smaller "investigations", or attempts of them, literally happens all the time, with no effects of whatsoever to speak of. No one would even care about this if it wasn't because of the recent shooting.

Nothing is going to happen. It's just a cheap way for politicians to try and ride this train in order to get a positive view on "combating evil".

I sell video games for 2 years now.
I meet with things like: I dont want my kid to play shooter or war game because he might do something bad.
or my favorit one. Customer: So you are saying that 14-16 years old boys are playing this game called CoD ? Do their parents even watch TV ? Do they know what happened in states ?

I LOVE MY JOB AND I LOVE GAMES AND TODAY IM GOING TO SELL ALL THE SC2 WE HAVE LEFT !

btw i dont sell GTA to kids.

Surely the vast entertainment media lobby will come to the rescue? They practically run America, right? Or maybe that's just for hollywood and music records...

The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

no one will come to the rescue since it doesn't matter, nothing will happen or come out of this. The main "villains" regarding this seems to be the gun laws, mental disorder and the media coverage itself being at fault for portraying these people as some sort of anti heroes of society. The actual role of video games haven't gotten that much real exposure.

For males that age, it would be more noteworthy if they DON'T play video games... Imagine headlines like:

Title: "Child falls and dies while non-gaming father is cooking"
Under title: "Study shows that multitasking suffers from no gaming"

politicians are seriously just using this shooting as an excuse to limit freedom on guns and games... it seems so dirty.

It really sucks that when I kill 5 people in a row, I have no announcer to call out "RAMPAGE!"

People really need to find better things to do with their time and money ffs. Really they do. Give your time and money to me and I could make the world a better place while playing video games between projects. Fucking retards. What did they have to blame for serial murderers before there were video games? Those are probably the same things that make people killers today.
6 poll is a good skill toi have

Society loves to use a scapegoat because it's a lot easier to blame than the actual issues. When Columbine happened the media blamed violent television shows / movies, video games, and music (Marylin Manson comes to mind). The real issue is mental health, but it's a lot easier to say "ban all video games" then to say "help those with mental illnesses"

Guys! This just in! The shooter also ate sandwiches and drank water.
New study is going to happen about whether eating sandwiches and drinking water impacts your desire to kill people.

This could result in the banning of all subways and draining all lakes in the United States!

Hundreds of million people play videogames world wide. Every year a couple of people go on a shooting spree. Clearly videogames are the cause.

games like SC and CoD, I don't think should be regulated. games like GTA should be straight up banned.

Ban one game, why not ban 'em all? It's a slippery slope, and even then I don't see what the problem with a little bit of cathartic virtual mass murder is as long as people playing are sane enough to not go kill real people anyways.
Like why do u use an oven instead of a fire? Coz its fucking better at cooking, that doesnt mean you want the shit to burn.

This really grinds my gears.... Obviously gun control is the real issue, but there is something sickening about the way a tragedy makes everyone push whatever agenda they already had. To make sense of something which is basically ununderstandable, all the old fogeys are trying to inflict their prejudices on everyone. With their worldview shaken, the only solution is to insist on all the old stuff more and more loudly.
Only want to see you /dancing in the PurpleRain.
