Repulsive video games

I have refused to play

I have not refused to play

We often hear about video games causing people to behave immorally, even though though there is no evidence of that, but I was curious if the opposite (sort of) is true. [b]Have you ever been so repulsed by the content of a game that you refused to play it?[/b] Bonus question: what was the game and why did you refuse to play it if you didn't?

  • The only thing I have been repulsed by is the media's constant blame of video games and other media for some disturbed individual's horrific actions. I believe that these people are sick and would have committed these crimes whether they have a game with violent elements a heavy metal/rap album or if they have a violent film in their collection. I would argue that violent video games prevent some crimes not including those people I have mentioned above with mental health problems( They would do it anyway). Sometimes I am sure that we all get angry have thought about harming, killing someone. Rational people would play a violent video game express their anger in a virtual world , fragging zombies marines or playing a few rounds of MP on their favourite FPS. Maybe that's just me but personally I have not been influenced by a video game, movie or music to commit a violent act lol
