Its just another excuse for why people go into schools and kill people. Next time it happens I bet the news will report that the killers had this trailer/game in the internet cache. GTA has made its name from killing innocents. Yes its not the aim and you don’t have too but I bet every player has dragged somebody out of a car and run them over and laughed at it. How many times do people playing GTA drive down the path for the fun of it? Ultimately its a game and people need to understand that. The problem is not games its people. I cant say I went out over the weekend and killed many people with my sword after a Game of thrones session or that I tortured a family in a house after watching the shining on its anniversary. Cant say after all the news reports and videos of actual shootings and beheadings I feel the need to go out on a rampage. I’ve playing games since the days of the Atari 2600. I’ve been exposed to the dark side of the evil devils armpit that is the games industry. If anything made me tip over the edge and go postal it wouldn’t be any of the above, more likely the flashing broken light or the crappy aircon in the office.
I don’t usually worry if adults or older teens play “dark” games. Really only kids. When I play COD I only hear prepubescent boys yelling profanities through the speech. Those are the people I am worried about.
