Thinking about Emailing Jack Thompson

MMORPGs really suck and stuff. So i came up with an argument about how they hurt children.

Here's a preview.


Online Games like World of Warcraft recreate a simulated "life" where players are rewarded with constant gratification and guaranteed  positive results for investing time into them.

This skewers their perception and expectations of reality when the game ends. When they turn the game off they won't be in an  environment where they are guaranteed to gain positive results for investing time into something.

There have been accounts of M.M.O.R.P.G. players who have commited suicide because these games have made them so depressed  with reality. They cannot face reality anymore.

What do you guys think?

lol i already forgot about this topic
im too lazy to do it

I agree fully.

As an avid MMORPG player, I can tell you that's a load of bullshit.

You're clearly not playing enough then. They key is to not sleep.
Ever.

Wait - trolling aside, you don't think MMORPGs foster instant gratification? Though the idea of the email was a stupid one the points are valid.

MMORPGs>You

The only reason why MMORPGS suck is because of the battle system and the amount of time you have to put into it. I mean, look! You click the mouse like if you wanted to get off porn sites if you felt like your mom was coming in the room. There's no action. There's no excitement. You can't jump. And everything is f-ing stat based. Hell, you even need one for your genitals. What kind of a game is that? I'd rather play something skill based than how much you add up numbers and then try to get a high amount than the other player. Example?: You: INFINITY! The other: INFINITY +1!!!!
You: ARGH! #$%#!!!!

Besides, Computer games suck. Well, in my case. I'd rather play an extremely advanced console that made me hold two halves of a PS4 controller and use it like a Wii.

Oh yeah, and another thing, don't go off pissing off that giant again. God knows what he might go Piss Bukkake on. Like Anime.
