I play video games and I don't give 2 shits about this issue

As long as they classified social media as a video game... I’ll be happy.. Facebook is the most vile video game, nothing even comes close.

Maybe if you play Nintendo.

>12 year olds should be wncouraged to play shitty mindless games like COD

He's meeting with Bethesda (Fallout and The Elder Scrolls) and Rockstar (GTA).

You know what, I bet social media causes more of these shootings and stuff than video games...

Ohh no, he's going to discuss something, somebody stop him! Fuckin' geek with your games, you're pathetic.

the (((industry leaders))) are pumping out casino-like games with anti-white messages
just a fact

If you need violent video games as an outlet to prevent you from murdering people then you're pathetic. Ban them and ban racing games too so the roads will be safer.

Video games are a degenerate distraction; they're a simulacrum of genuine experience.

Someone tell young men that a better outlet is getting proper exercise.

oh damn did they upgrade the graphics recently?

video games have reached a size where they are a political minefield, if he tries pandering to boomers by bashing or censoring games he will piss a LOT of millenials (even Gen X) off including his own supporters and give ammo to young people in the other camp. Don't forget a lot of young people were redpilled by gamergate and SJW hijacking studios and trying to force niggers and progressive politics into every AAA game

If Trump keeps his word about building the wall, keeping immigrants from shithole countries out, kicking out illegals, protecting domestic industry, and staying out of neocon wars, I'm sure most right-wing gamers are more than willing to overlook him bashing video games. I play games 20 hours a week and he can talk all the shit he wants, I don't care, there's more important issues. But if he doesn't deliver on any of his main promises AND starts blaming video games for everything, he's going to lose a lot of support

>President Trump will meet later Thursday with executives of the video game industry at the White House to discuss what he believes is a link between the games and violence in the aftermath of the Florida high school shooting that killed 17 people.

Literally fake news. Donald Trump has never made the connection of the shooting being linked with violent videogames. The thing that he is concerned about is how violent videogames desensitize young children.

Videogames are a waste of time and are not worth defending. They are the same thing television is: a degenerating media tool.
Go out and do somthing productive as an outlet, not stare at a screen.

I'm finished with him I'm off the trump train.
What video games were there in 1966 when school shooting began. (Texas uni, 1st August 1966 gunman in the bell tower).
This started with liberalism and grew with liberalism. TV did it with its trillions a year scientificly calibrated programming, which is only about entertainment as a means to an end, the ultimate goal being opinion creation.

Fuck off Sup Forumsirgin. You're gonna constantly cry and shit up your own board about 'MUH Sup Forums', you can fuck off back to your containment and stop being a hypocrite.

Don't get me wrong he was the best choice we had but he's still an old out of touch idiot some times.

t. Literal brainlet

Where's the Xbone's or the PS4's 97 rated exclusive?

To be honest I'd like it if the industry moved past games where the core mechanic is "shoot bad guy X with weapon Y". As a gamer I've murdered so many things in so many ways that I just don't find it fun anymore.

This. If you want to be a better person then video games have to go. You have to make yourself bored and then find better ways of avoiding that boredom.

I became bored while playing games, personally. They aren't a fulfilling way to spend your time; it's only so long until you realise that.

can your second amendment extend to virtual firearms?

Video games elected him so it's only natural he'd try to get rid of them so his possible competitors can't use it against him.

Ironic, right?

Gamers are overwhelmingly leftist these days, and gaming culture is steeped in degeneracy and commie bullshit. I hate censorship, but if it fucks over gamers it is well worth it. Most of the same people crying about this are perfectly happy with subversive leftist bullshit in their games, and would sell your life out in a second if it meant that they could have one more non-whites "geeky" friend.

Rockstar will probably outline how video games are a release (and remind him of the rating system that parents neglect, and that's the core of the problem, neglectful parents)

>Gamers are overwhelmingly leftist these days

Have you seen damn near any videogame board, any gaming news/culture site, damn near any gamer/geek culture/news thing on youtube/social media? How about the industry itself? The whole damn thing is steeped in poz and degeneracy.

what were you saying?youtu.be/Yh7rEtmrHWc

>"video games are a degenerate waste of your free time"
>"so what do you do in your spare time, then?"
>"oh me, i just: watch niggers tackle each other over a pigskin, listen to politically motivated nigger and white elite music, eat chemically altered food, put on some political propaganda on YouTube, read trashy novels you can't even engage with, watch egocentric celebrities jerk each other off on live tv. you know, the usual"

You are fucking delusional my dude.
>news
>youtube
>social media
My nigger, that's all controlled. The people who write that garbage are not a representation of people who play games. Ive been playing multiplayer games for years, I have made tons of friends that are far right/reactionary

God I love Rising Storm 2

>be rice nigger at the start of the round
>tell GI to fuck off home
>get napalmed into oblivion

literally the reason that games state that online play is not rated by ESRB is because of everyone yelling nigger.

LAST STAND! NO SURRENDA!

This is Gamergate 'pressure from the top'

>Things can have impacts on people. Let's find out if there's much, if any, and if something can be done about that if it's negative.
>wtf!! He said ban games!!!

>new T64 given ahistorical stats and is almost impenetrable from the front (only thing that can do so is the Leopard 2000) on the test servers

Or you can, you know, not be a degenerate normie OR waste thousands of hours of your life on degenerate hobbies. Basically the only time I play games now is multiplayer RPGs sometimes with my girlfriend, and MAYBE a couple of hours of solo on the weekend. It shouldn’t be a daily thing/ something that takes up the majority of your free time

FOXTROH IS BIDDING UHHTACK

This.
Eventually you'll start getting the rush of achievement you get from video games in real life and from less stimulating things. I've taken up reading instead and have been getting a real rush from it.

>GamerGate

That shitstorm redpilled more people and threw the young people right. IT's also what kicked off video game media becoming censored hellholes that hate anything that doesn't fit their ideology, and they've suffered because of it.

When you look at "Gamers", as in, anything outside the echo chambers, they're leaning right.

>When you look at "Gamers", as in, anything outside the echo chambers, they're leaning right.
Gamers are the most racist people on Earth.

That's because they practice pattern recognition for fun.

I think video games need to start being demonized the way that overeating or binge drinking are.

It's just as pernicious a habit, especially for young males. While I think that video games can have some real positives, that's often outweighed by chronic video gaming becoming a life style rather than a source of entertainment. I know at times I wasn't even enjoying myself, but found that I spent all my time playing because I had forgotten how to live without them.

what are you tryin to say here?

No one actually cares you fucking idiot, and leftists were much more eager to legislate video games over supposed sexism and shit

The worst that could happen is maybe ratings get more enforced and I have to listen to less underage kids spamming mics constantly

Seriously can any of you “muh video games” niggers refute this or are you mad because you’re literally underage?

>4D chess
Trump will go down as a democrat and zionist U-boat to sink the republican party

The video game problem is solving itself

Every game is now either leftist trash, or multiplayer which is ruined by 3rd world shitskins, or you get banned simply for calling someone a faggot or anything like that

So it’s pretty much impossible to be addicted to them anymore unless you’re the kind of person who would end up probably throwing your life on other dumb shit like gambling or overeating

my sides have entered orbit

??????

I literally couldn’t look more like an ubermensch nazi except no blonde hair

I don't feel like this is true; I'd like to see some hard stats on gamer habits.

>right wing gamers
There’s your problem lmao. Grow the fuck up. No one within voting age should be playing fucking video games. If you’re over 16 and this is a “big” issue you’re a fucking loser.

i think the decline in good violent games is the real problem. if all i have as a shooter is fucking fortnite im going to get bored amd do other shit

Aren't there numerous studies showing that video game players are usually more socially-aware and against violence than non-players?

I remember hearing about them because of when Anita tried to claim that video game players were more accepting of abusing women than people who don't play, then she got BTFO.

Games are like drugs. Useless and suck up your time and motivation.

Find something that is actually useful and beneficial to do with your time.

Who are you to tell others what they should do with their free time?

you are on Sup Forums in the pol section and you say this

But isn't it better to play shooting games than have real guns?

Stupid fucking Boomer. I voted for Trump and I still support him, but he fucked up on this school shooting thing by making a couple of really bad unforced errors.

>is it better to simulate shooting real people than to just shoot targets in real life?

Is it possible to think before you post?

I guess not really

Doesn’t Trump’s brother own Bethesda or something?

Trump is an absolute retard when it comes to video games, but he's an old man so that much is expected.

>simulate shooting real people
That's war

Even shithole Gamefaqs has most of its users shit talk SJWs and the few SJWs they have are constantly triggered because of it. They obviously can't be as harsh as us, but gamers don't like SJW shit for the most part, it's just that most sites are controlled by overbearing SJW mods. The bigger problem is that they're all too lazy and out of touch to try and actually DO Anything about SJWs or care about the root problems in society.

...

Look at this dooood....

OH NO NO NO AHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAAHA


You mother fuckers wanted to Make America Great Again, right? Well, that entails going back to a time before video games.


HAAHAHAAHAHAHA!

*WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE*

Trump probably knows video games aren't the fucking issue. This could be misdirection to keep people talking about anything but gun control bs. Also anything to attack and vilify media (games, movies, etc) is pretty much a good thing. Like drugs, media fucks with brain chemistry. Sitting on your fat ass and playing a game for 5 hours straight isn't much different from shooting heroin and passing out for hours at a time. Literally nothing good comes from it, it is basically worshiping anti-life. You guys really need to consider unplugging from the beast and fucking changing our world for the better.

>Facts not needed

>they're a simulacrum of genuine experience.

That's why violent games are good. It's a catharsis. Crime is dropping.

Every so often I reinstall war thunder wondering why I ditched this cool mmo version of birds of steel with tanks. Then their intrusive and near malware launcher and updater remind me.

Lots of learning going on here. It's the modern equivalent to cafes.

In the 90s they never could definitively show fake violence causes violent behavior in those not already violent. Social media however has plenty of evidence as being dehumanizing and terrible for people's psyche.

Gran turismo made me a better driver though. I don't speed all over the road or drive like shit.

I play a lot of video games I also travel and fuck my nippon gf and am rebuilding a vintage bike

Go fuck yourself for tellin me to not enjoy something

DNC says the same thing about my shooting hobby too, you can both fuck off. Is building models degenerate too?

idiots hiding themselves from the anger they should be feeling by playing video games is precisely the problem

>Someone let Trump know that video games are actually an outlet.
Lol maybe that's the problem.
How else will we rally the neets?

>violent crime has increased like nuts since 1965
>it must be the video games

This.
Video games really fuck your shit up.

No! Don’t meet with them! Keep video games alive! It’s the only thing that cheers me up since I’m still a damn virgin!

I play vidya but I never watch the tv jew, eat fast food, or drink soda. A ok

Holy fuck I thought we were done with conservacucks and their game grabbing after Jack Thompson got disbarred.

Welp, serves you right, Drumpkins. You memed a meme candidate into presidency, now you get meme policies. First he goes after your vidya gaems, next he goes after your tendies. LOL.

He's saying that the Xbox One and the PS4 lack amazing exclusives.

Fuck Take Two though, micro-transaction assholes.

looks like the pendulum just magically went to the upper right side without fully dropping the left
You orange overlord is already attacking videogames while the libshits haven't been put in their place yet

>Someone let Trump know that video games are actually an outlet.
pffft

that shit is military training for children

based

>thinking that playing COD makes you anything other than a massive faggot

Sounds good.

Maybe they want to ban the outlet so that young right-leaning males actually do something about the problems instead of playing games all day?

>inb4 shill

Are you just going to sit there and let the invisible hand of democracy that's worked so well for the last few hundred years solve all the problems it has caused? Honestly he should ban anime and the internet too.

ITT: Mental gymnastics.

Face it, Drumphlets... You got had.

yeah but did it predict rustleposting on twitter?

That would make a good scene in some action comedy.

don't you have a $70 cardboard box to be assembling?
