RE: NY gov signs game bill into law

The panel needs to include parents - real parents who
have to deal with these games, the consoles, how the
game developers create games that force a child to keep
playing or they lose items, lose levels, have to bloody start
again, how much conflict in the homes these games
create, how ridiculous the whole parental control set up is
because the kids, mostly teenagers, can lie and purchase
their own subscriptions - just like they do for facebook -
lie to set up an account. The game developers, the Gaming
Merchants Association are all anti parent, anti authority.
The games create addictions, indifference, and a blase
view of violence, horror, and are based on fear,
identification with the aggressor, power through killing.
Go to Empowering Parents Newsletter(google it) and read
how parents are struggling to have a family once these
games are introduced!
The gaming industry wants you to believe it is a small
percentage of kids but that is a big, fat LIE!
The game developers need to be the ones experiencing
what its like to deal with a raging child who WILL NOT turn
off their console, or argues and argues for more time so
they can "get to the next level", who values this unreal
world more than the real world. They can come get the
kids out of bed or stay up and make sure they are in bed
and they can lock up the console and deal with the
bitterness this engenders, or watch and then discipline a
kid who buys a game online by lying about their age and
plays it. The whole parental control things is ridiculous
when a kids can buy their own subscriptions and lie about
their age. They have been trained by society to already do
this by lying to join Myspace and facebook! They think
nothing of it.
The panel needs REAL parents dealing with this stuff. I
would like to make every single game developer sit in our
homes and try to parent with things they way they are now
due to video games. They would RUN for their LIVES and
vow to NEVER be involved with video games again.
