Blame the gamers
“It’s hard to look at what the hard-core gamer asks for from the world and not come to the conclusion that if indeed they are being oppressed, it’s because they were asking for it.“
It’s rare to see people make reasonable arguments about gaming and the gamer community at large. Just type Jack Thompson into Google and you will be flooded with, shall we say “heated”, stuff.
But a few days ago, I read an interesting piece on the subject.
The author starts out by stating that if you pick any of the current questions of the time (in this case the “problem of games and gamers”) and listen to the debate and arguments. You will eventually reach the conclusion that everyone is stupid.
It’s a fun conclusion that I can see the point in making. However, I’m not entirely sure it’s true. The article itself kind of invalidates that statement. But it is otherwise a well thought out piece that and makes a good argument about the gamer community.
