Take-Two Crushes Earnings Expectations. CEO Criticizes Trump On Mass Shooting Comments

quote [ Blaming entertainment is irresponsible. Moreover, it is highly disrespectful to the victims and their families. The fact is entertainment is consumed world-wide...but gun violence is uniquely American. ]

Lets just not bring up online gambling and micro transactions, yeah?

I take their point that FPS games are all over the place and the bulk of rampages (in high income countries) are taking place in the U.S., so the line can not be too direct between the two.

That said, I think it is part of a culture that does seem to really like guns in entertainment products. Ever since I was a child I have been shown a gazillion images of the use of guns in order to resolve a wide range of situations. If I had been born a farm boy in Wales in 1800 that wouldn't have been the case. That has surely made some of the ideation I have undertaken at times in my life different to the ideation of potential resolutions to various situations the olden days farm boy version of me would have had. These games are part of that culture.

If only big video game didnt swat down all reasonable video game control, we could reduce gun violence.
