Views on Violence in Video Games

CBS News' GameCore site is running a series of articles discussing the ever recurring debate about video games and violent behavior. They start with prominent anti-gaming lawyer Jack Thompson. From the article: "The heads of six major health care organizations testified before Congress that there are hundreds of studies that prove the link. All the video game industry has are studies paid for by them, which are geared to find the opposite result. Lawyers call such experts 'whores.'" Tim Buckley, of the webcomic Ctrl+Alt+Del, had the chance to put forth an opposing viewpoint on the subject. According to the site there will be more coverage on this topic next week from other gaming community members.

MOD PARENT UP.

These people never cease to amaze me. No one seems to understand the difference between correlation and causality anymore (or did they ever?). Not to mention that these days you can prove pretty much anything if you throw enough money at it. Hell, given a few billion dollars I could have several scientists testify before Congress that the world is flat(1).





(1) Only true for certain definitions of flat.
