Europe goes hysteric on games after German shooting
Posted on Friday, 13 March 2009 by Speed, source: Gamepolitics
Games are being blamed for all the bad in the world again.
Following the gruesome shooting in German school earlier this week where a young boy killed several people and himself, righteous politicians found it the perfect opportunity to request again a ban on violent games.
Google translation of the German newspaper:
Stupid populist politicians rule the world!
Following the gruesome shooting in German school earlier this week where a young boy killed several people and himself, righteous politicians found it the perfect opportunity to request again a ban on violent games.
Google translation of the German newspaper:
The President of the German Foundation for Crime, Hans-Dieter Schwind, calls... for a total ban on violent computer games, and a further tightening of the arms law. The criminologist said that the 17-year-old on the run even further to have done is a behavior the young people in games like Counter-Strike or Crysis could learn...
The Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann has... expressed demand for a ban on so-called killer games renewed... he said, it generally must be clearly said that the games were available, the obvious just in young people cutting inhibitions.
And it goes even further. It seems the European parliament has voted a resolution effectively banning sales of violent games to minors:The Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann has... expressed demand for a ban on so-called killer games renewed... he said, it generally must be clearly said that the games were available, the obvious just in young people cutting inhibitions.

"Of course there are also many games of great pedagogical value. The important thing is to avoid the frigid bad games in the hands of children", commented at the end of voting the Social German Democrat Evelyne Gebhardt.
Of course it's easy to blame videogames for the shooting. Apparently someone said the shooter played videogames so that MUST be the cause of him going berserk. The fact that his dad was a member of a shooting club and had guns laying around in the house is totally not a problem and I guess the shooter's mental state of mind wasn't a problem that should have been followed up either..."Of course there are also many games of great pedagogical value. The important thing is to avoid the frigid bad games in the hands of children", commented at the end of voting the Social German Democrat Evelyne Gebhardt.
