Now in New Zealand, the government has responded to a recent fatal car accident involving teenagers by pointing the finger at videogame systems, saying they make teenagers feel “bulletproof” when they drive. Frankly, if you’ve ever spent a day playing a racing videogame, you might find feel this way for a moment when you get into a car, as your brain adjusts back to reality.
This argument is ridiculous. If someone is gullible enough to let a game influence their life like this, then they have deeper problems than what a game can do.
