This is just what capitalism eventually does to any industry.

"Pro-gamers" are the donald trumps of gaming.

IT'S THE SAME GAME.

Anderson's a moron. I, and every other gamer I've ever known, has seen violent video games as a stress reliever. I can't count the times I was in a blind fury, put on a violent game, and felt better after turning it off. Anecdotal evidence aside, I have to go with the obvious fact that AGGRESSION IN HUMANS IS NOTHING NEW. Used to be that if a law passed that people didn't like, they'd take to the streets raping and lynching. Do you really think we've evolved beyond that in less than a few hundred years? We're still the same exact species with the same exact minds. And guess what? More aggressive people are more attracted to more aggressive entertainment. Ever hear the phrase 'Correlation does not equal causation'? For Anderson to compare his opponents to creationists or global warming deniers is just irony in its purest.

They're trying to make GoW not totally suck? Hah! Hahahahaha

I don't know why this article is acting like a game has never drawn anyone into the lives of the character. I've felt that way about many of the games I play. A story is not needed for a good game, but a good story will definitely make it a hell of a lot better. Personally, I don't really enjoy slaughtering off endless armies without a decent story that gives me incentive to do so. And Denis Dutton is a ****ing IDIOT.
