People are always complaining every time a violent game comes out, GTA 3 being a perfect example. They say it can affect people so they carry out the things they see in the games they play... What, do they think there weren't psychos before games came out? And will all the mentally unstable people suddenly stop killing if they ban all violent games?
The people who carry out these acts are already disturbed, if they don't do something they see in a game they will do something they see on TV or in a film
Games now have to be careful with what they put in content wise, and I don't think this is right
Sure, YOUNG kids may be affected because they can immitate what they see while growing up, but it should be up to the parents to make sure their young children don't see what they don't WANT them to see. So many times I've seen parents buying little 10 years games like GTA 1 through 3 and Soldier of Fortune, and you just KNOW they're the type to see what their child is playing and complain to the shop
So what are your thoughts?
