It has officially been announced by the Supreme Court that all video games, including violent ones are considered art and should be protected under the First Amendment as books, comic books and performance art.
I do agree that video games have evolved into a complex interactive story maker where the players actually becomes immersed into the story and the characters. As far as being violent, stories have been written with some levels of violence for centuries from Homer’s stories to children’s fairy tales, video games is today’s technological leap from written paper to high definition television. What’s your opinion on the subject ?
