Apparently the writer of this, uh, "news" article is unaware of the scientific, public health, and law enforcement findings, unrebutted, that violent video game play leads to increased aggression, even criminal violence. Gamers everywhere: learn to read the news.

Posted by: Jack Thompson | August 16, 2007 6:33 PM

I agree with both this article and Mr. Thompson on this one, Sometimes us gamers need to remember that agression is possible with gaming. We need to understand that fact. But Jack Thompson also needs to realize that gamers do in fact read the news, and we are not cold-blooded people. I for one, help people frequently... Especially those who cannot help themselves.

But I also must say that Thompson does have the right to go after games if he chooses so. I personally don't agree with it, but alas.

I must say, Bioshock is shaping up to be a great game, but I am also kind of freaked out on the little girl thing.

Posted by: Jared J. | August 16, 2007 6:57 PM

ummm...yeah your not really JT, and you apparently are the one who is, in fact ill informed. There is no scientific facts. HAHAHA.
I live in a family of police officers, a few of them who work in homicide, they laugh everytime some arrogant individual, such as yourself blames this all on video games. A small percentage of people can not tell the difference between reality and fantasy. scientfic and psycological findings, in this particular study have shown that most "gamers" could NOT hanle the stess of commiting murder. There goes your scientific, law enforcement and apparent unrebuttled argument, I just rebuttled it. Feel free to, rebuttle that.

Mr. Thompson,
I am a mature and decidedly intelligent member of the gaming community. I respect your opinion, and frankly, I agree that mature content should not be allowed into the hands of minors. That being said, video games have their place.
Video games have been proven to increase hand-eye coordination and to improve the subject's capacity for fine motor skills. In addition to these benefits, interactive media is a fantastic (and under-utilized) tool for education.
I'm assuming you haven't played BioShock. It is set in an underwater utopia (Rapture) that has been destroyed by the advances of science and the sense of moral ambiguity which led it's citizen to play God and genetically "enhance" themselves.
BioShock is a commentary on the perils of technology divorced from humanity. It is a commentary on religion, science, and ambition that is steeped with literary and historical references. This is hardly a gratuitous game.
If anything, it follows closely in the tradition of dystopian literature from the likes of George Orwell and Any Rand.
You should applaud the developers of this game for giving substance to their craft and admit you have made a mistake. Your statement is arrogant and ill-informed.
If Americans rallied against everything that they found potentially offensive, we would live in a pasteurized culture where news and all media was filtered before it reached us. Adults would have decisions entirely taken out of their hands. Expression would be eliminated.
Come to think of it, that would make a pretty good game.

Posted by: Bryan | August 16, 2007 7:24 PM

How is this guy still alive? What vermin! I've been playing violent games since I was a wee lad and I can honestly contend that I only really felt like exacting my game world fantasies when Jack Thompson started coming around regularly. So let it be stated that Jack Thompson is bad for the mental health of gamers. Furthermore, if we're going to sit and bicker about false realities and the apparent negative effects they have on our real world state of mind; shouldnt we be trying to ban religion then? I've never played a game that said i should kill homosexuals, or that newlywed women found not to be virgins should be stoned to death, or that slaves are good and they should obey and appreciate their masters regardless of treatment. Millions of people live their real world lives based around this "infallible" lore and we're arguing over videogame violence? is everyone completely mad?

I must campaign against Bioshock because I do not understand that VideoGames are an expressive form of art which has the right to tackle controversial issues if the artist(s) behind the game choose(s) to do so. I view games as any small-minded, inexperienced individual would: as evil, brain-washing, regressive trash does nothing good for society. I am uneducated. But most of all, I am American. If something offends me in anyway, I must make sure I force my beliefs on others, make them live MY way, live with what I deem appropriate, and without anything else. Everyone must agree with me. And if they don't, I will sue. It's the American way.

Just when the world recovers from Jack thompsons ridiculous claims that video games cause aggression he pops his head back up again to go after Bioshock of all games.Face it he's only going after it because it's published by take 2,he didn't even specify a reason why he's going after it.The guy just hates video games,it's a fact,and video games have not been proven to cause aggression

Didn't the court decide that Jack Thompson can't try to mess with Take-Two? Or did that judgment change or is the suspension over? Either way, JT is a tool, I understand his concern for kids, but he needs to target retailers and parents, not the gaming industry.

Posted by: Jeremy | August 16, 2007 11:57 PM

Here is what it boils down too, these games have ratings for a reason. For someone to say that these games create aggression and violent behavior is an outrageous claim. If videogames are the cause why doesn't anyone bring up movies. Action and horror movies simulate real life, yet I don't hear them attacking them.

I am a functioning individual of society. I have a college degree, hold down a fulltime job, and have played videogames my whole life. I have never gotten so angry that I thought to go on a doom like rampage. Also why does no one bring up parents. It is a parents job to teach kids what is morally respectable as well as what is real and is not.

It is true studies have proven that gamers have better hand eye coordination, and a recent study from Vanderbilt University found that gamers also learn better problem solving skills as well as better vision.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but also like it says in the story, this is an unrealistic game. I have not been walking down melrose in LA and seen a big daddy walking on the otherside of the street, not to mention that I have never injected myself with a needle and had the power to freeze someone and shatter them.

Posted by: Loves_360 | August 17, 2007 12:03 AM

Your arguments stating that games are murder simulates are so biased.

I think that when you buy a gun they give you a manual instead of playing a game where reloading is off screen.

I'd think that your more releasing your aggression in a game instead of gaining more rage.

On the topic of Bioshock.

I think I'm going to use my lightning power to knock over a corner store.
Hey I found a gun on the ground, I automatically know how to use it.

I think its highly unlikely that a person can mistake an underwater utopia filled with mutant creatures and metal creatures with drill arms for real life.

I mean, Where the heck is the A button?

Well, im not against getting rid of s.e.x and violence from the entertainment industry, but through my own experience over the past 25 years, movies and television had 10x any effect that video games ever did. The video games are weak in comparison. If I was on a crusade like this guy, i'd aim for the big boys of movies and television he's too afraid of.

Hasn't The Simpsons tought you people anything? Just ignore this fool and he will go away, just like that giant advertisements in the Halloween special. Oh wait, this is real life, ignoring him will just allow his insane accusations to thrive with nothing to stand up for common sense. See what I did there? I took another medium, Cartoons, and then using logic I was able to reason that Cartoons != real live.

Jack Thompson doesn't make me angry per se, he reminds me of many other Lawyers I know, they are, as far as bias views and generalisations can go to a profession, simply very out of touch with reality. Law it difficult, you get caught up with it, I have seen it first hand and witnessed it with family and strangers alike. Again, Lawyers simply lose touch with reality, they go too far down the rabbit hole as it were.

Mr Thompson.

I am a 21 year old who has been playing games on all systems since i was 3 years old. I have been diagnosed with psychosis as well as with several other mental health issues during my teen years none of which have led me to increased aggression. I own in my collection all of the GTA games as well as several other games that are violent. yet to this date despite the fact that i also partake in martial arts training have i ever been an aggressor in a fight.

I work and live with several individuals all of whom are gamers. Not one of them are violent individuals.

I would like to challenge you to a 15 questions each with rebuttals permitted debate on this issue. I ask you to put forward your views and proof and allow me to respond. I will then in turn put forward my views and proof and i will allow you to respond. This can be done via email and i will allow members of the online community to respond.

You may contact me at: eklestadt@gmail.com and i await your reply. Hopefully you will accept my challenge and we may both learn a little about what the other is thinking and why our views are this way.

The gauntlet has been put down jack. a 21 year old of the gaming community is asking you to back up your views. please do so.

Posted by: Ed Klestadt | August 17, 2007 12:37 AM

Unfortunately for you, Mr. Thompson, if the CEO of Take-Two came out and said that BioShock was fine art, any member of the informed public would be unjustified in laughing in his face this time. Are you concerned that BioShock will dispel the notion that videogames are somehow a less legitimate form of expression than more the more traditional ones like film and literature or are you just bad at picking your battles?

Posted by: faceless coward | August 17, 2007 12:41 AM

It all boils down to 1 thing, lack of understanding.

Movies dont get this type of heat because movies arent interactive. you watch a movie, but apparently when you play a game, its completely different. YOU are choosing to shoot those people, steal that car etc. Despite the fact that, although, yes you are choosing to do these things yourself, its generally the point of the game.

A question I would like to put to this Jack Thompson is this : If you played a violent computer game, would it make you violent? We all know his answer would be no.

My next question would be :
If violent video games dont effect you, why do you think they effect everyone else? Are you saying everyone else is inferior to YOU when it comes to differentiating fact from fiction?

F*CK you Jack Thompson

Yes, yes, yes, Jack, we're all well-acquainted with your absurd fantasies about there being definitive, unrebutted "studies" that back up your claims and your repeated failure to produce any real evidence thereof. But I think what people want to know is, why single out Bioshock in particular? There are plenty of games more violent than Bioshock coming out soon; what other reason, besides it being from Take-Two, do you have for trying to take it on?

Posted by: Mike | August 17, 2007 1:22 AM

Games are no different than any other form of medium. People are unstable, TV, Books, Movies, can all influence ppl in their actions. Are they the reason they do these things? NO! Anyone who acts out a violent image from a game/movie/book was going to do it anyway, they are looking for something to feed it. It just helps them to be unoriginal. If a game/book/movie can even be considered a cause, you take that away and they would prob find a friend who feels the same way they do and they can feed on eachother for the same effect. People need to take account for their own actions, and stop blameing everything under the sun for what they did. Thats was a 12 year old does, my step brother does it all the time. He tries to wear you down with whatever he can think of till your just like fine, shut up!

Posted by: John | August 17, 2007 2:00 AM

Jack Thompson just admitted he was uneducated. That explains it all.

Social psychologists have actually shown research around video games and media, and the results are--at best--that violent video games ATTRACT people with higher violent tendencies and there is a CORRELATION with aggression and people who play video games.

That hardly means that video games can be blamed for anything and "taints the mind" or "ruins the world." Please, take it from the real professionals who do this research instead of some uneducated person who reads random articles.

Provide me credible proof, completely unbiased unrelenting, consistent, tangible proof that violent video games cause violence in real life, and I will never speak against you again, and will encourage others to do the same.

Until then, I'm going to murder some law enforcement officials in Grand Theft Auto as payback for the corrupt pigs they are. Speaking of corrupt pigs, take time to examine your own personality.

I love the claims that videogames cause violence, when violence is on the wane over the last 10 years - guess what, at the same video game playing is more widespread than ever.

Have a couple of the crazy kids who shot up schools in the last decade learned to kill more effectively because of videogames? Probably. But that's why you don't sell M rated games to kids.

I hope to god Thompson goes after Bioshock. It's a game that can truly be defended as art.

IF Jack Thompson seriously posted the "believe the news" comment; I feel bad for his lack of ability to determine truth from propaganda. There are zero mainstream outlets that are no influenced from a neutral prospective. Does he get his "news" from Fox? There's also studies which state video games allow us to cope with difficult situations, help us learn advanced problem solving and teach us valuable lessons in which we would never be able to experience outside of the video game media. So how did linking Cho Seung-Hui to violent video games go for you anyways?

There have been more incidents of violence related to MySpace users than there have been to gamers. Why doesn't someone go after MySpace?

Oh, could it be because it attracts violent personalities rather than creating them?

Correlation does not equal causation and all that...

http://www.onlinelawyersource.com/criminal_law/juvenile/statistics.html

“Juvenile crime statistics rates have steadily dropped since 1994 when crimes involving juveniles reached a record high. Since 1994, juvenile crime statistics have dropped by forty seven percent.”

I find it odd that the modern era of violent video gaming began in 1993 with the release of Doom and the juvenile crime rate began to drop almost immediately after it came out. Games have grown more and more violent since then and yet the crime rate is cut almost in half. It’s the polar opposite of what Jack Thompson predicts.

Posted by: smartguy | August 17, 2007 8:09 PM

This game is being rated 'M'

That means only folks 18 and older are (technically) allowed to purchase it or play it.

If you are an adult and you're behavior is still meaningfully influenced by a video game you play on your computer or your gaming console, then you have bigger problems and should probably already be in therapy or on medication.

If a child is able to purchase this game or if their ignorant parents purchase it for them, that is on them. A 12 year old can't go buy a Playboy magazine or a 9 mm handgun either. How many parents go pick up porn or booze or other forbidden contraband for their underage kids? Thankfully, those parents are in the minority.

The same care should be taken with video game ratings. Any parent who does not educate himself or herself only has one person to blame.

I've seen so many contradicting studies on the affects of simulated violence on children, that I cannot say with certainty anything other than "it depends."

Case in point, I've been watching horror films since I was old enough to sit up. I had nightmares from them and even developed phobias from them. Guess what? I got over it. Not because of therapy or medication, but because I wanted to. I grew up. I learned the difference between reality and fiction. Those early experiences profoundly influenced my thinking, but not by making me more prone to violence or xenophobia. Instead, they helped me to appreciate the human imagination and to develop my own talents in that regard. To think, "this movie exists because someone came up with this story in their head" was amazing to me. So, I love the story and I do my best to learn from it as I write my own.

My childhood of "violent entertainment" has given me an appreciation of creativity and intelligence and an understanding of the value of life and how quickly and pointlessly it can be snuffed. Far from turning me into a zombie killing machine, it increased my feelings of empathy and humanity toward other people.

So, "it depends." The exposure isn't what causes problems, it is the particular personality of the mind that is exposed. It is the overall environment in which that mind exists. It's like the stock market: past performance is not an indicator of future returns.

Hey Jack

Cant belive this is coming from a republican (a party that has caused much more violence than any computer game) i think you need to check some facts.

1) Studies show that the majority of games do not cause violence, most of the cases of related computer violence has been linked to domestic issues at home

2) i have played man hunt and avp and haven't felt the need to crawl along celings or putting plastic bags over peoples heads.

I think you need to stick to your day time job as a lawyer ( whos job is it to defend potential murders and get them off)

Posted by: GOD | August 19, 2007 6:07 PM

Only a tiny few are effected by what they play in video games and fully grown adults should be responsible for their actions. IF they're under the recommended age for the game then they should not be playing it. I've seen more violent movies than games like Manhunt 2 being banned. What makes a game safer than a violent movie is that you're doing it in the game and gets your anger out in the game, in a movie you think "thats kool i wanna go do that just like he did in the film" and thats why i believe games are safer.

I don't see how your argument could be taken seriously by anyone who has common sense about them. You're wrong and people who underage should not be playing these games and fully grown adults should know better.

Take your argument to the retailers who sell them to underage people. Also take your argument wrose things like underage drinking which causes violence and openly selling guns throughout America which means anyone ahs access to a gun.

Posted by: Grant | August 19, 2007 6:50 PM

Funny, Bryan (fifth post from top)...

You go on about how you've been playing violent video games from youth, and how you've not been affected (paraphrased). However, in amazing irony, you BEGIN your post with:
"How is this guy (Thompson) still alive?"
What?
Is that a veiled threat from a non-affected, "violent video game" player?
Regardless of anyone's opinion of Thompson and his ilk, it is obvious that extremely violent video games have negatively affected some people.
There is plenty of societal and anecdotal evidence to bolster this stance.
Do video games have positives? Of course. But where do such positives exist in titles like GTA, Manhunt, Bully, Hitman, and the other "kill and aggressively act towards other humans" type of 'games'?
If you haven't noticed the changes in the way we treat each other (societally) in the past 10-15 years then you're just not paying enough attention to life in general. I dare say some games (and certain parts and practices the internet allows us to see/participate in anonymously) have turned us into somewhat "zombie-like" caricatures of the things we try to obliterate on screen.
I'm all for freedoms of speech and other guarantees The Bill of Rights grant us (in America, and I could go on about how poor we've become culturally, ethically, etc..), but influencing young people, who regardless of what they believe don't know very much at all, is quite immature in itself.
And don't argue that you must design such games to 'make it' - there are plenty of examples that prove otherwise.
We should strive for better - and we should treat each other better - and we will be better for it.

Posted by: Jeremy | August 19, 2007 7:40 PM

Jeremy i dont think your living in the real world. until world peace occures treating people better is irrelevant. Not saying i dont treat people with respect i treat people the same as they treat me, as for video games being the source to most crimes in the world i think your just using that as a scapegoat. If people are going out killing other people cos of a video game then they should be locked up in the first place.Personally i dont think it has anything to do with video games i blame the parents for not bringing up there children properly. ENOUGH SAID I say release manhunt 2,GTA IV they look fun to play and enjoyable as for JT ur a f*cking fairy

anyone that wants to add me on 360 my gamer tag is

AK INSANE always looking for new and cool people to play games with and talk about them thx

Posted by: ashley webster | August 20, 2007 12:31 AM

Sorry Jeremy but i agree with ash on this one. You say that the past 10-15 years people have been treating each other worse, well sorry to say this but Humanity has been treating each other pretty bad for thousands of years. In fact over 140 million people have died in this past century alone. and the majority of these were before video games were even invented, and i don't think stopping a few violent video games is going to start world peace. Most studies have proved less than a percent of games are responsible for "video game related violence" you have more of a chance getting killed by a lava lamp then getting killed by a person who has played a violent video game. We need to stop the bull shit now and sort out the problems we have at home before we start blaming games as an excuse not to act.

Posted by: Matthew Lesueur | August 20, 2007 12:44 AM

Read the news, jack?
I remember some news about you passing insulting notes to Janet Reno inferring she was a lesbian, during some legal procedings in the 80s. Is that the new you want us to read, jackie? There's more stuff like that avaiblable to anyone who does just a little research. Your life history is a list of frivolous law suits, failure and bad taste.

Thomspon has no credibility, and has been the same worthless sack of shit since the 70s, begging for attention and money. Worthy of neither.

The video games themselves, which aren't really the issue anymore, are for adults, or teenagers wily enough to get around ratings. A lot like films, and books, and television, and every single form of media there is. You might as well complain that there is too much violence in cave paintings and that those should be cencored too. That is the actual issue here, a soft headed christian supremacist trying to force his censor everything he dislikes, because he's just such a little whiney bitch.

Nobody likes whiney little bitches, jackie. Nobody likes you.

Why does he not go after the gun manufacturers and arms dealers, who should also front some of the blame? As long as tax dollars aren't spent, what do I care anyway. Now Hilliary . . . wasting so much time because of the hot coffee mod. wow.
