This guy should stick to his own part of the u.k for one.

The big problem here is that these MP fuddys still think games are just for kids. If you applied the same kind of banning logic to films or books it would never work.

My guess is he's part of that EU biz on banning violent games. What's interesting is that the majority of adult game sales are pretty tight in the u.k traditionally from shops, especially when compared to the u.s. It's the loop holes like mail order, second hand sales, the net and ebay (that make his job difficult, while adding some weight to his arguement). You'll never stop people full stop.

I'd like to really know how many of the people who elected him are actually worried about this issue, or if he like JT just has a anti games hard on. Reply

OK, who proofed this? Reply

Argh, argh, argh. When will they play the games before bitching? CCE isn't a game that encorages bullying. Reply

I find it funny that he's desperate to discuss something that he obviously knows very little about (CCE for example).

This really opens up my eyes to how little research politicians actually do on anything before discussing it! Kinda makes me scared about all the other things they make decisions on.

Stopping kids playing violent games i have no problem with. Personally I dont see need for ANY game to be violent, but that's another discussion. HOWEVER, I do have a problem with politicians jumping on bandwagons to improve their publicity without actually doing their research.

I have become really fed up with these government people dissing video games saying 'games are bad, mmmkay' it makes me want to cry. The amount of violent videos games that have "supposedly" affected people to be violent are very few. I love GTA but i can see why these people want to pick on it but it is obviously not meant for kids. Otherwise they wouldn't stick an 18 sticker on the thing.

So now they pick on CCE aswell because they randomly heard on the grapevine that it contains stuff about bullying. Yeah it does but not promoting bullying. You are technically the one getting bullied and also you help out other kids that are being bullied. It is actually quite realistic in terms of what happens at any "normal" school. Fights, accidents and general bullying occured everyday at my school (It was usually to me) but that is normal school life. If they are gonna ban this game they may as well ban kids from going to school. Reply
