Comment Blaming _GAMES_ is bullshit (Score 1) 898
I think it was Scotland, but still in the UK.
Games will be blamed because they are an easy target for a simple minded media. So long as we encourage the isolation that some people endure, this will continue. The internet is not the same as face-to-face, but it is a connection for many people. The rabid name-calling that we 'all left behind' in high school will continue, and geeks, because we are the outsiders will bear the brunt. Nothing much changes.
