But the false blame and scapegoats could become a lot worse. For example, this article could also double as yet another false indictment of firearms as well. Think about it; the article describes the son gaining access to his father's firearm and using that to conduct the premeditated murder of his parents. Video games are to blame for making the kid a killer, but firearms are to blame for providing the means of murder. It's a perfect media scapegoat two-for-one
I hear that some doctors in the US recently tried to have "video game addiction" recognized legally, but it wasn't accepted. However, I'm sure this is just the beginning of the fight; eventually, game addiction may be seen as legitimate.Mandy wrote:Is addiction to video games a legitimate sickness now?
