Brazil has also joined these nations recently in purging violent games from their store shelves. I know what subculture will be picked on in the next decade here in the United States. Last year almost every four weeks some kid was blasting away his fellow students or setting up ambushes on the playground with high-powered rifles. Carjackings and gang activity aren't limited to the big cities anymore but can happen anyplace. Heroin is coming back in style.
Domestic terrorism is on the rise.
Someone in Washington is going to get this bright idea that maybe games are getting too violent and if they stamp out these games youth crime and everything else horrible will drop to nothing. Money, and believe me there are enough anti-fun lobby groups here in the United States that plenty of people in our capitol will feel that banning some games will help line their own pockets. Computer games will live on, just as everything else the government has tried to stamp out lives on, but for a while it's going to be pretty shaky. It doesn't matter that violence in play has been around for centuries, long before computer games. Talk to your grandparents and see what they played when they were young.
