In this passage the author talks about how violence impacts a game and the player. The author states that a game is just something to entertain a person while they are working to reach a certain goal in it. Greg Costikyan said, ” no conflict, no struggle. No struggle, no obstacles. No obstacles, no work. No work, no fun.” According to this quote I think that for a person to overcome obstacles and have fun in a game, there has to be violence. Another quote that I think stoo out is, “Violent computer games don’t spur violence; violent computer games channel antisocial impulses in societally acceptable ways.” I agree with this quote 100 percent because I also feel that video games don’t cause violence and that it is a way for the player to take out his anger in a positive way.

I completely agree with you that violence in video games makes games more entertaining and fun. I also agree that violence in video games does not cause real violence. Many children who do not play violent video games are more violent than children who do. The nature of the child and how they are raised is what determines whether a child will express violent behavior.
