Q. I mean that literally. Can games make you lose touch of reality and make you violent and even kill someone?.
Or is it just that these people were already mentally flipped out in the head before they played any games and probably would have killed someone anyway.
There's someone here who thinks the general public would believe his ridiculous views and all agree that games make you violent. I'm even going to post this in the mental health section to avoid bias from gamers.

A. computer games can only cause violence or any other mental issue in kids that dont know any better or in people that already have issues but it shoudnt be up to the games industry to censor itself and avoid making adult rated games purely for a minority of people who shoudnt be allowed near them-it shoud be peoples own responsibility or their family/carers/support staff etc who control what they play, in the end its all gamers who pay the price when we do not get freedom of choice,we get loads of movie licenced bugged out unfinished crap but indie developers cant take risks and are shutting down or being bought out.
parents are some of the biggest spenders of games for their children-yet to many lack the responsibility to say no and buy them games like GTA and then blame the shop they bought it from,the games industry and developers why their child copies stuff.
they shoud make people sign a disclaimer with every game bought,so that no one can blame the game for directly causing mental issues.
in own view manhunt [however short it was] was one of the most addictive games of the playstation twos history,yet a limited amount of adults have ever got to play it because it was either banned or shops refused to stock it due to the violence,it actually shot up the game charts at one point thanks to the ignorant non gamers and parents who complained itd turn their kids or adults violent,but the limited amount of copies available made sure its popularity woudnt last.
if manhunt caused people to be violent,there woud be quite a few of us on the streets walking around putting tesco bags over peoples heads and strangling them and using cheese wire to slit throats but thats not being happening,with all the copies of the hugely successful need for speed series-why isnt every gaming driver a boy racer?
the worst complainers of violent games are people who are not even gamers themselves so will never have a balanced view,the closest have ever seen to a balanced view from a non gamer was the report from supernanny-jo frost a few years ago,the one she was asked to do for the government on how violent games affect children.
its clear that people who do injure/have violence problems [whether to others/themselves or to game pads even] have issues going on that are not compatible with violent games.
look at the boys who tortured and murdered the young boy-jamie bulger years ago,they blamed the film childs play and there was huge hatred towards it suddenly from people wanting it banned.
but those boys were both mentally disturbed already.
many people slam their game pad down after losing in a game,that isnt the games fault its the person to blame as they cant cope with losing.

Why does gaming as a hobby get highly critisized?
Q. For some reason, computer gaming gets a lot of criticism from non gamers as nothing more than a waste of time. In my opinion, the whole waste of time thing is mostly due to society's stigma of gamers. Just like people who say gamers have no lives. They tell us more harshly that gaming is a waste of time. But yet, fantasy football or going to the movies is never criticized at all. But gaming is seen as a threat. Why is that?
A. Gamers believe that gaming is fun. Plain and Simple. But others think its a waste of time or its bad for the brain. There are a whole lot of different negative comments to gamers. Personally I like Gaming. It's a hobby when you need something to do, or when you are dying to play. There are more negative comments about gaming then positive comments. People even think designing games is not really a job. People who don't play video games think its for nerds, but celebrities play it. The last thing is that people HATE gamers that are popular on YouTube. They think is stupid how you get paid money to play games. Whiteboy7thsreet, SkytheKidR5 and any other gamers. If you enjoy gaming, then play. Dont let others try to tell you it sucks.
