What is it like to live in a country where violent video games are banned? In Venezuela, a 26 year old gamer has written and released an essay on the subject. It is an interesting read where he discusses such things as the violence of everyday life and the political treatment of video games, porn and even music. The essay is itself punishable by law in the country, even writing about violent video games is considered wrong.
The political regime should really take a closer look at articles concerning violent video games and how the actually reduce crime by giving the common man a place to take out his anger.
