What's the Moral

It’s funny how governments, in their bureaucratic wisdom, are so undecided on the games industry.

On one hand we have politicians and lawmakers like Hilary Clinton and Jack Thompson who clearly oppose the games industry and in particular the creation of violent games. Then on the flipside we have government branches that not only encourage video games but encourage VIOLENT video games. For example: America’s army and CC: First to Fight, games specifically made in part by the U.S. government that are clearly encouraging violence. Huh? So let me get this straight. Fictional games depicting copious amounts of blood and gore should seriously be considered for banning, but games depicting REAL violence in REAL places are not only alright but encouraged by the very same governments. It seems to me that these lawmakers moral high ground just got a bit smaller. So what’s the moral of this story?

Well I guess we can all relax a bit next time some Politician starts blaming games for the next school shooting, cause it was possibly one of their games that taught the kid to reload his SMG.
