Although conservative outlets such as Fox News tend to get more flack and attention for having anti-video game sentiments, there are those on the left who also seem to misunderstand video games.
Hillary Clinton provides a good example of how this anti-video game sentiment seems to be a problem on both sides of the aisle. Somewhat infamous for starting an anti-video game coalition in congress after the GTA: San Andreas "Hot Coffee" incident, Hillary more recently spoke on the importance of controlling video games during the Christmas season.
Clinton commits numerous logical fallacies in this speech; however, I find her general misunderstanding of what goes on in video games to be more disturbing. I don't think it surprises anybody to find out that most politicians know almost nothing about video games, but you would think that somebody could fill them in at least a little! Hillary seems to think that cannibalism is a common thread in video games. Like many others, she also seems to think that many video games like GTA are focused entirely on "gaining points for committing violent acts".
Finally, the most heinous of insults comes as Clinton seems to think that people are likely to copy the behaviors that they commit in video games. More discussion on this, and her entire speech in the following video.
Please discuss: Are there any types of video games that you think SHOULD be banned? Are there any politicians that know what they are talking about when it comes to video games?
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
