Video Game Controversies (Gaming Hunters Post 8)

INTRODUCTION

Video game controversies refer to a wide range of debates on the social effects of video games on players and broader society, as well as debates within the video game industry. 

Since the early 2000s, advocates of video games have emphasized their use as an expressive medium, arguing for their protection under the laws governing freedom of speech and also as an educational tool.

Detractors argue that video games are harmful and therefore should be subject to legislative oversight and restrictions. The positive and negative characteristics and effects of video games are the subjects of scientific study. 

Academic research has examined the links between video games and addiction, aggression, violence, social development, and a variety of stereotyping

and sexual morality issues.
