Judge Terminates Anti-Video Game Law, But Schwarzenegger Wants It Back

August 10, 2007 in Other comments 13

When he originally said I'll be back, people waited for him to come back. However, this time people are hoping he isn't back. A judge recently terminated California's Anti-Video Game bill for being unconstitutional, however California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is trying to appeal against the ruling, in the hopes of getting the law back.

Gamers and Game sites across the world are attempting to dissuade the governor from making such a mistake, and you can join in the crusade and somewhat hypocrisy (if you've seen some Schwarzenegger's films, you know that they are far worse than games).

    I love Arnold one of my favorites actors, but i don't know if he anti games or someone is pressuring him to make it so. Or possibly haven't played games b4.

    Arnold is a great actor, from what I've heard he's been good in his current position too. But I agree with gamers of the world. Anti-Video game law for the loss (never even knew about it in the first place).

    Why would be be against games? His movies have worse in them, and there's even terminator games... I don't see his point in doing this.

    Yeah...It is hypocritical, seeing as the content in Total Recall, for example, is pretty bad at some points...

    Has Arnie even played video games? I don't mean, just for show (like for a couple of minutes)...

    Most likely he is being pressured by some group...

    Not that I agree with his viewpoint, but the movies v games thing is that in the games you are "acting it out yourself", wherein movies you're just seeing it happen.

    You're not exactly acting it out yourself as the controls aren't really specific on how exactly to shoot a weapon and whatnot. So that's pretty much a lame excuse, you can easily counter with "movies are a better simulation of real life scenarios", over and out.

    Lol I actually remember once there was a interview with Arnold where he was promoting the new Terminator game, I believe he said something to this effect "I've always been a fan of videogames" talk about bull

    Sorry what effect will this have, really? Just that 18/M certificate games will not be able to be supplied to gamers under age? Well, isn't that the case anyway? I'm sure it is in the UK, at least.

    As much as I liked him as an actor, I can't quite see why he's following this law up so eagerly...

    "Bring the game back"

    I don't know myself why he is trying to bring it back so fast. We'll soon find out.

    Arnold has changed completely because of the political pressure that's all.

    Doesn't he have nazi friends or something?

      Yeah he sure has changed a hell of a lot by the looks of things, and it must all be down to political pressure as you said.

      I'm losing faith I had in good old Arnie, especially after I just saw the Terminator films a few weeks ago and had just started thinking how much of a legend the guy was in the movie biz.

    Arnie was only good in a couple of films so he means not much to myself. Him wanting to bring this back, is strange to hear as he has been on in vilounce in his past and how he expressed it by his job.. Someone is probably telling him to do this ¬¬
