I disagree with the statement where you say one child turned to violence by games makes it not worth it. I say nay to such talk. I've seen mothers turned to violence by stubborn pickle jars and men angered by mis-hitting a small white ball across a field of grass. I do not think we should censor or restrict these any more than I do video games. Upbringing is paramount.
Children need to be raised correctly. To this effect, information needs to be provided to parents and governments need to act responsibly. Ratings for games, penalties for selling to minors, education available for parents.
That's it.
No more.
Making a nanny-state drives sales. This is evident in the binge drinking culture of the UK as opposed to the useage of alcohol in mainland Europe (or prohibition, if you're American and don't get the analogy). Jack Thompson is just the very visible tip of the very ridiculous iceberg that is this nanny-state culture. Mary Whitehouse did the same many moons ago and I'm sure there are similar figures in every form of expression.
