My mum told me the other day to stop playing my PS2 because she said it would eventually destroy my mind and give me an everlasting headache.
This brought me back up to that old question can videogames destroy your mind? whilst this was mentioned in a topic by pb I wondered what would happen if games were deemed unsafe and made illegal?
What would people do? There could possibly be a rise in crime as people would have too much free time with nothing to do, unemployment- all those games developers designers and big companies would be bankrupt and out of work and we would get people selling games on the side, those lucky enough to still own a console would sell game time for exorbitant amounts of money, consoles would be for sale on the black market for thousands of pounds. not to mention a big demand for mags and cheats.
we must therefore all do our part to make sure games stay legal. for everyones sake.

From my point of view, gaming is no different to any other form of entertainment (TV, Radio) and may actually be more beneficial as it requires a degree of participation.
