EU tells Gaming Industry: Think of the children!

Kazooieman | 15 days 5 hours ago | News | Company 
Yet another article about how Videogame's can cause children to become more aggresive, and this one's not from Jack Thompson.

It's not the gaming industry's fault for putting violence in their games, they're rated MA and it's the parents fault for not looking at the classification.
"Creators have to enjoy freedom of expression but at the same time it's an industry that impacts society," EU Information Society Commissioner Viviane Reding told a news conference.

Public concerns that videogames can cause aggressive behavior have been heightened by school shootings such as that in Finland last November, and have led to several countries banning games such as "Manhunt 2," Reding added.
