So the rationale is this.
Games were blamed for the Newtown massacre.
Therefore, I won't play any shooters on Friday because of the obvious rule that correlation = causation that we all know is correct.
Many gamers are doing this. That's fine, I can't stop them.
However, why would you do this? isn't it a tacit admission that we think games are a problem?
This Friday, I'll be playing the goriest game I can find, and then continuing my life as a perfectly well adjusted human being with no intent to murder.
Hey, play Spec Ops: The Line instead. Hate the worst bits of shooters, love the game.
