Ridiculous.
I personally don't give a shit what some closed-minded baby boomer thinks of games like this. We still get to play them (if we can afford them) and Rockstar still rakes in the cash. This changes nothing.
Chux's theory definitely holds some ground. I wonder how many copies of GTAIII were sold to curious individuals who caught that Dateline special...
Hey, look at it this way. That article will probably result in a few more copies of GTAIII being sold.
I can't STAND this line of thinking. You know what trains snipers? Our own damn government, that's what. The DC sniper didn't learn his skills by playing GTA3, Silent Scope or any other video game - he learned it in the US military.Quote:
"It's a video game simulator that trains snipers. It's sick," said Martha Kleder, policy analyst for the Culture and Family Institute.
Like Saint of Killers said - just because I am the top Madden 2002 player in the world, should I be picked up in the first round of next year's draft? Of course not, because pushing buttons on a controller is nothing like playing football. Same goes for shooting a gun.
