Totalbiscuit made a really good video concerning matters such as these. But haven't there already been many studies that show video games don't have anything to do with violent behavior?

As said a million and 1 times before, another study seems rather obsolete after all the ones that already have been done, with the same outcomes over and over.
If there really is a correlation between the SC2 and the actions of this person, Korea must be a terrible insecure country to be living.......

I don't get the point of this?

Wasnt there a study done by the Dept. of Education AND the secret services:

Best part about that report:

He says:

"It really almost makes you ask the question wouldn't it have been better if we had never invented the internet, and had to use paper and pencil or whatever. And that's a stupid thing to say, but it has genuine consequence. (referring to hacking attempts on the government)

This guy is an idiot but don't put words in his mouth.

How could they say CoD is doing bad things to kids when in every game the free and democrat americans go and deliver "peace, prosperity, freedom and democracy" to everyone? They should have a better legislation for guns and stop with the video games stuff it's just lame. How come you don't hear about school shootings in UK, France, Germany, Japan for example? Don't they play games there? Better for you americans to ban the internet, the pc and the consoles to be very safe and put the kids to read about ponies and barbie.

They should commission a study on McD. I bet Sandy hook shooter and all other shooters before him ate McD in the years before they killed ppl. That must mean that eating McD makes you shoot ppl ......

If they need to find a scapegoat look no further than the media. Everytime they report shootings somebody somewhere is thinking man if i do the same i can be famous too!!

Its like they'll just blame anything to avoid tackling the real issues... i hate politicians. If video games is the cause of violence, then I guess they should be worried about the millions of gamers who are going to see this as an attack on their freedom of speech.

It's simple really, the gun lobby has more money to give politicians than the video game lobby.

After the shooting happened in the Dark Knight premiere, I watched TV and found a morning show where they discussed the impact of gaming of people's aggression. Not to mention it was hilarious, the poor guy(author of a gaming magazine) they interviewed tried his best but explaining gaming someone who has never ever seen anyone playing computer games can be extremely difficult. The reporter thought the murderer was using Call of Duty as a training program and he simulated the actual circumstances in the game, and she thought you need a special gun shaped controller to play this game.
It is much easier to blame the computer games and media blows up the whole thing, convinces the people who never played games that video games are the spawn of Satan and drives people crazy.

the funny part was my thread was closed when i said this was gonna happen you guys are really dumb if you think the media are not gonna effect your lives. THEY ARE LITERALLY BLAMING STARCRAFT AND GAMES for people dieing NOT GUNS they are doing WHAT THE NAZIS'S DID TO THE JEWS we are the SCAPE GOAT WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING about these ignorant people WE HAVE TO SPREAD THE WORD AND TRY TO OPEN THERE EYES instead of just sitting around and doing nothing!!!!!!!!!!

I dont want 70 year old men who are filthy rich whose only motive in life is to stomp on poor people and only get richer to decide what my life should be if we do nothing they will destroy our community.

Lobbyists for NRA and pro gun groups and politicans are trying to pin blame on everything but themselves we need to spread the word someone has to get on the news and debate with these people we need threads through reddit and every possbile media outlets NOW!

KOREA HAD ZERO SCHOOL SHOOTINGS and we all know korea is number one in starcraft. We had over 10,000 shootings across america please guys do something spread the word the media and politicans are lying to everyone. Its obvious whats the problem is America has the most guns per citizens than any other nation THAT IS THE PROBLEM

Eh I find 18 months to be a very interesting length of time. In 18 months no one will be paying attention to issue so doing anything would be difficult if 18 months werent right in the heat of the election season. This study seems like more of an excuse to say they are looking at everything to appease people who think they are just going after guns.

This was my first thought too.Hell it's been almost 2.5 years of growth of esports and sc2 was always one of the main atractions if not the main atraction,and not once they mentioned it on mainstream news.Imo they don't even know what starcraft is except for the fact that it's ''just'' one other videogame.The other problem is they don't even know that linking a game to that tragedy(or blaming) they in fact actually may hurt esports for newcomers and the industry's growth.

You're correct. When you join a professional scene like e-sports, its all very "official" and "proper". Bad publicity or bad spins literally can ruin a scene overnight. If they keep naming SC2 specifically alongside Call of Duty and the others, sponsors might see this and think they'd rather not stick their names out there for something controversial. Its not just hypothetical, this is coming from experience in business. I shouldn't have to explain why scaring potential sponsors away before they even know about the scene because they saw on 5 news networks all owned and covertly operated by the same moron at the top say "Adam Lanza played Starcraft 2 frequently and may have gone on a rampage as a result" is bad.

Wait, what.. it is THE Jay Rockefeller who is doing this? That explains the odd nature of it and why we won't actually see any of this beyond that its been mentioned in a newspaper.

Satying that someone played SCII and then committed an atrocity is close to saying that they drank milk a lot and committed an atrocity. To do something like that you have to be completely ****ed up to begin with, and the video games probably had little to do with it.

A feable attempt to make it look like you're taking action in response to such a horrible traumatic event, without touching the ever-important and incredibly controversial issue of gun control, which is so divisive and potentially damaging to an american politician.
