There is pretty good evidence that people are able to differentiate fiction from reality. If we apply the idea that game worlds should be moral, what about GTA

- rytis 15y agoEvery now and then things like this happen though: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/apr/02/teenager-daniel-bartlam-jailed-murder http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/apr/02/teenager-daniel-bar... Ban Coronation Street? Perhaps not. But we can't really say that media is not influencing our behaviour...
- icebraining 15y agoThat influence is only bad if he wouldn't have killed his mother if he hadn't played the game. Otherwise, it just influenced the means, which is more or less irrelevant.
