Hello,
now, gaming becomes political.
According to an news article I found via the German gaming magazine site of "PC Games", ActiVision is seemingly hiring Lobbyists to support their stance on violence in games.

Original article, according to the one above :
http://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...d44bac-165e-11e3-804b-d3a1a3a18f2c_story.html
What makes me wonder why they felt they had to send in any Lobbyist at all ? Facts should speak for themselves, no ?
And this seems to be linked to it as well : http://www.gamespot.com/news/consumer-group-launches-campaign-against-game-research-bill-6412589
I find this quote quite astonishing :
Then, why isn't this Entertainment Consumers Association looking for the real causes, then ?
Anyway, no matter what one thinks about games and violence - to try to influence a side is something that imho shouldn't be done at all. All of this Lobbyism is imho BS.

Entertainment Consumers Association says Senator Rockefeller's Violent Content Research Act is a "distraction to finding the real cause" of mass shootings.
