| I really don't like these articles. People just want a scape-goat to put the blame on or divert the blame onto someone/something else. This german kid was probably another example of bad parenting, not violent game playing. Of course it certainly doesn't help the imagination to see and play such games, but, at the same time... is it "The cause" for teenage violence?! C'mon, be realistic.
Similar situation with fast food restaurants. When parents are blaming the fast food restaurant for making their child fat, who's really to blame? The parent, of course! For taking their child to those said fast food restaurants!
So, back to the violence, the parents are more responsible than the games! And if they wanted to blame games, why don't they go ahead and blame movies? Some of the movies I've seen are far worse than a lot of the games I've played! |
