Petition Action

Stop blaming video games Grand Theft Auto for all of society's ills

Additional Information

Blaming a video game for influencing crimes is lazy and shows a misunderstanding of both the crime and the gaming culture.

It is an insult to people who make and play these games.

Over the last 10 years Grand Theft Auto alone has been blamed for inspiring or causing:
looting, rioting, fire-bombing, murder, car theft, teen violence and even prostitution.

Decent law abiding, tax paying folk who do not need a nanny state telling them "don't play with that".
