The Social Impact of Gaming

Posted by Zonk on from the pong-as-social-commentary dept.

"The Bart, The" writes "The Economist weekly is carrying a well considered special report on the current debate regarding morality and gaming." From the article: "Like rock and roll in the 1950s, games have been accepted by the young and largely rejected by the old. Once the young are old, and the old are dead, games will be regarded as just another medium and the debate will have moved on. Critics of gaming do not just have the facts against them; they have history against them, too."

    Personally, I railed against Marilyn Manson because the music sucked.
