On Banning Video Games

Why Would You?

Published on April 23, 2008 By erathoniel In Gaming

My opinion on banning video games is: "Why?".

Sure, certain games should be banned *coughmanhunt2cough*, but not all games deserve this fate. Instead of banning video games, why not accurately enforce rating restrictions and piracy prevention laws on the games?

Why should violent games be banned when more violent movies and books are being made? It's not like I'm trained for a rampage by playing eight hours of Tom Clancy games a day, I'm just trained to play eight hours of Tom Clancy games a day.

Take games for what they are. Entertainment, not reality.

I was thinking just sales tax. It would provide an incentive to invest, and allow small-timers to sell their goods at competitive prices, because they wouldn't need to bother charging for the sales tax. Basically, you go to the grocery store, you pay tax, go to the farmer's market, no tax.
