Video Games....According to the Media
Posted: Wed Oct 09, 2013 5:11 pm
Video games as portrayed by the media. I'm talking news outlets, newspapers, that sort of media. Why do they always think of video games being just about violence and sexuality? Have they not seen other genres of gaming like platformers and rhythm games?
Every time I see gaming in the news chances are it portrayed in a negative light. Is this there way of saying the gaming industry is not a good form of entertainment?
Like this "story" for example, how is this in any way connected to video games? The media loves to spin the general sense that video games are too violent. Thank today's stance on games these days with more shooters and whatnot that made these news people reflect their reporting on it.
Anyway what do you think about this? Is this justified for gaming to be like highlighted like this?
