Should any game that encourages gun-violence be removed from Steam?

[AggressiveHibernation]

The best way to discourage children from purchasing firearms/school shootings and ceasing the largest cause for child deaths in the US would be to encourage companies that allow gun-violence toys and simulations to be banned.

This would drop child deaths by huge numbers and force other companies to follow suite if Steam led the way.

A simple yes or no in the comments:

- Yes I support steam removing gun-violence encouraging games

- No I want to keep gun-violence encouraging games on Steam

Which makes then people wonder what is the REAL cause of gun violence?

Easy access to Guns.

Or should I say Easy Barely Regulated, Access to Guns by Untrained and Irresponsible Individuals.

Hey, wait on a second. Isn't the Second Amendment about every civilian able to have access to a weapon, if they chose?

I'd say the discussion is more nuanced.

No.

Bad parenting is the issue

Parents aren't Steam. A company of this magnitude effectively babysits their kids for the time they're on and they can't exactly be sitting behind their shoulders for hours at a time just in case they buy a shooting game.

Steam has a responsibility to help end child gun deaths.

no and only a bad parent would let the "internet" babysit their children.

also as mentioned, games and violent kids have zero to do with anything, its the parents who cant be bothered parenting thats at fault.

also, guns dont kill, people do.

that all being said, im not sure why this thread was left going.... even after the OP was forum banned... as this thread is clearly to spam political bs and sow drama and arguments.

Here we go with the old "video games cause violence" crap again...

Irony, that you bumped this thread just to complain about others bumping it... All posts here was on-topic. People can discuss this topic as long they want, they don't need your approval.

If you read the second ammendment the word REGULATED appears in there.
It's really not that Nuanced. People just like to pretend it io in order to avoid taking the obvious step.

Probably becauise there;'s still discussion and people are being decent and respectful. Ideally though this probably shoudl be moved Community or off topic.

No, otherwise potential victims can't practice to shot first in self-defence.
And yes, this is a low quality bait.

Average low information CNN watcher post.

Guns are not the number one cause of child death between the ages of 1 - 19.

Suggest you re-read post #8

You going BACK into your old posts to edit them after I refute you isn't an argument. When you're asked for a source, post it, don't try to retroactively win an argument you've lost.

You've quoted the wrong person. My post is here

To even suggest that steam should remove games that encourage gun violences you need to prove without any doubts that violent video games do encourage gun violences in the first place.

Joke is. Most research shows the opposite. That sucgh video games actuially seem to grant a healthy outlet.

there is an episode of penn and teller's bs about guns and the link with video games

they gave a kid that plays fps' all the time a real machine gun

he fired a few rounds and wound up crying from the violence of it

not just the kick,

but just the overall experience

i do not see that kid turning his love for shooting games into a

"Rampage"

You think encouraging gun-violence doesn't encourage gun-violence?

No-one is blaming video games. Literally no-one has claimed that Stardew Valley encourages kids to shoot people.

Then explain why no other country has the mass shooting problem, they ALL have the video games

South Yorkshire Police say rise in gun crime 'cannot be tolerated'

- A spate of shootings in South Yorkshire has prompted police to issue an ultimatum to criminals and communities, saying the issue "cannot be tolerated".

In the past week, a man was shot getting out of a car in Burngreave, a gun was fired at a house in Aston, and a man was shot at in Thrybergh.

You were saying?

[fluxtorrent]

3 shootings in a week

compared to how many in a day in the USA?

Still waiting for you to answer the question, why does NO other country suffer the problem?
