pretty much nailed it. This is completely asinine and absurd we all know this but it will be interesting to see what the biast results come out to be.

While the study won't find any link to violence I'm sure, at least it's bringing scrutinizing eyes to Video games.


Unless they contaminate the study.

These constant witch hunts against my main hobby is more likely to make me go crazy than the actual hobby itself.

You want to see violence? You don't need videogames.
-Movies
-TV Series (both real and cartoon)
-Media news : always reporting on violent crimes, wars, etc.
-Living (going to a bar, walking a bad street at night; you're likely to see real violence in plenty of places).
-Contact sports
-History books (tons of depraved things to learn about!) or documentaries
-Anything related to hunting, fishing, and the animal kingdom or even just insects when you see a fly trapped in a cobweb.

Seriously, there's violence at every point of our life. And that's just violent things (didn't include the internet as a whole but obviously it's huge too) --- if you want to talk about every depraved thing that can be seen or heard in life, that could make a person snap, then the list is too huge to count.

I'm not saying video games have no effect on the human mind. It's just freaking pointless to demonize them all things considered. It's a form of entertainment enjoyed by millions of people, and a few people who did something insane who just happened to enjoy that form of entertainment (bet they watched sports, tv, or anything else I listed too as well!) don't make everyone who play videogames lunatics.

I can't believe in this day and age we are still seeing this crap on the news. It's fucking shameful.

yea, the violence thing is stupid but you're refuting a link between obesity and video games?


Most of my friends and I play video games a lot and none of us are fat or even overweight. We all did multiple sports in high school and maintain healthy lifestyles in college. From my experience I don't see any link between obesity and video games, anymore than there is a link between driving cars and obesity, watching tv and obesity, ect.

Well while you were playing sports you were obviously not paying attention in science class. Your personal experiences don't outweigh decades of research proving a link. And there is a link between the amount of time spent watching TV and obesity(Many of these studies consider time spent watching TV and time spent playing video games the same).

Obviously video games do not actively make you gain weight, but they encourage a sedentary lifestyle and are associated with poor food choices(Look at MLGs advertisers).

how far can this go? if theyre talking about violence. then sc2 should be last on the list compared to many other games out there. i think if anything. all those fps games would be banned first b4 they even touch sc2.

This is fucking pathetic. I guess watching violent movies, listening to violent songs, and watching TV that has violence leads to mass murders as well?

yep, pretty much this...

I'd also like to see graphs of how many fights happened at every e-sports event of 2012 (should be 0, no?) and this for Soccer, Hockey etc... also maybe people that have died(no speculations, cases that have been proven) at e-sports event or as a result of gaming compared to Soccer etc...

Starcraft does cause violence, look at the amount of shooting deaths in S korea, a country that played BW religiously for the last 10 years!! Oh wait...

Nothing, but wasted time and money, will come out of any study on violence and video games. There have been plenty in the past, im sure, since after every single act of violence ever reported the media always goes striaght to video games and music and movies.

No need to worry about anything, they will always fail in their endevors, as they always have

And yet.. studies have shown that video games improve both reasoning and short-term memory.

If anything, people should play more video games.

So they'll link a tragedy with Starcraft, but they won't say how there's a whole industry built around this game and how the growth of the eSports scene has been exponential? Fantastic.

Well hurry up and finish this report, and prove that video games do nothing to incite mass shootings of children or people watching Batman!!

I'm surprised to see so many people are okay with this despicable waste of taxpayer money, as long as it gets favorable results.

You should not be so accepting of politicans flushing money they stole from you down the toilet just to further their own career.

Most crazy gunmen are known to have played Chess. Statistical evidence may suggest the violence in Chess could attract individuals who feel they are cast out by society, and thus feel the need to lash out violently. In Chess the player commands an army that must give their lives to satisfy a megalomaniacal agenda that they have no say in. Individuals who play Chess channel their feelings of hatred for society into the game, and the game brainwashes them to believe they can satisfy their violent urges by killing innocent people.

Basically.

It's a waste of tax payer money on top of being just a cheap political grab. If this actually passes I'll be surprised.
