Video games in court
02/07/2005 02:07 AMCory Doctorow:
I wrote a short story called
Anda's Game that Salon published last year -- it's about kids
working in sweatshops playing Massively Multiplayer Online RPGs,
grinding through repetitive tasks to earngold for sleazy operators who
sell the product of their labor on eBay. The inspiration came from a
real-world account of that sort of sweatshops, which has hit the news
again today, in a story about the courtroom shenanigans stemming from
video games:
A multiplayer online game is sued for allowing its players to dress up
like comic book heroes. An upstart company winds up in court for
creating a Tijuana sweatshop to manufacture digital weaponry.
A funny thing is happening in these sprawling online multiplayer
arenas. The ultimate in digital escapism, virtual worlds keep ending
up in the ultimate in depressing reality: the courts.

which is, in my estimation, the best sports video game of all time
(with which Stewart would agree, I'm sure). A quote from the article:

Video Games Aren't Just For Guys...
Again
09/01/2004 08:58 PMEvery few month or so, there seems to be some random story about how
only guys play video games, and how a bigger effort needs to be made
to make games for women. Of course, nearly every attempt to target
women specifically has failed -- but what people haven't noticed is
that women are playing games all the time. In fact, they're
considered
some of
the hardest core gamers, though, more focused on word and puzzle
type games. However, that's clearly not all. New studies are showing
that as new games become
more character driven, instead of
kill-everything-driven,
women are
playing those games as well. As obvious as it seems, it appears
the trick to getting women to buy into video games wasn't to make
games for women, but to make games for everyone.

Video Games As The Modern Car

02/16/2004 12:57 AMApparently, the car racing video game Gran Tourismo has been so
popular helping automakers sell cars to young adults, that many car
companies are starting to
put out their own video games and are setting up places to play
the games in dealerships. The article talks about kids who play Gran
Tourismo and get so involved in modding and driving a specific car
that they want that car in real life as well. However, now that the
automakers are realizing this is a good way to sell cars, some are
wondering if the fad is over, suggesting that as soon as the folks in
suits figure something out, the kids know better than to stick around.
Still, it's yet another example of companies realizing that you're
better off creating promotional items that people
want, and
then getting them out there into the world.

Video Games To Boost Self-Esteem
Video Games To Boost Self-Esteem
05/07/2004 02:57 PMSome researchers are working on special video games designed to
boost the player's self-esteem. To be honest, the games
sound fairly boring (which doesn't seem all that self-esteem boosting,
but what do I know?). I wonder if the plan is to take these basic
games and integrate the concepts into more standard video games. The
basic idea is that it takes practice and conditioning to think highly
of yourself. Of course, all this makes me think the game is designed
for people who might identify with the Saturday Night Live character
Stuart Smalley and his daily affirmations: "I'm good enough. I'm
smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like me - because my video game
tells me so."

04/15/2005 04:49 AMWhatever happened to the days when
video
games were the root of all evil to be purged from polite society?
It seems like the video games are fighting back and trying to come
across as being... well... wholesome. First we had
video
games to make kids thin (and help save on health insurance), then
there were
video
games to teach kids about world hunger, and now comes a game
designed to
teach kids about how dangerous that
big internet really is. Using George Jetson (
George
Jetson?!?) and other pop-culture characters (um, from what
decade?), apparently the game is designed to teach these kids how to
"identify spam, delete viruses and identify suspicious people in chat
rooms." While these are definitely important lessons for kids to
learn, you have to wonder how much this game is actually going to
help. This sounds like the type of idea that an adult thinks a kid
will like, but the kids will wonder what those adults are thinking...
and go right back to writing their own viruses and sending out spam to
enhance their allowance money.

be procreation. Amid the thousands of new products at the Electronic
Entertainment Expo featuring shooting, racing, punching, slashing and
pummeling, a handful of upcoming titles like "The Sims 2" and
"Playboy: The Mansion" have focused on "love" — or at least the
physical act of it — as the player's main goal.

Are Video Games Good For Kids?
Are Video Games Good For Kids?
08/11/2004 05:30 PMWhile it does seem that the anti-videogame folks blow the
danger
of video games way out of proportion, a new festival seems to be
going in the other direction by
claimin
g video games are good for kids. It's such a broad statement that
it has to be untrue. Certainly, some video games might be good for
kids, in helping them deal with
differe
nt kinds of challenges, but it hardly seems like random anecdotal
evidence (about all that's presented in the article) proves that video
gaming is "good." For example, the article includes this sentence:
"Dr Judy Robertson, of Edinburgh University, said some children had
told her during computer games workshops that playing violent games
did not result in violence in real life." Just because some kids say
something doesn't necessarily make it true (even if it probably is
true). If they really want to show this, wouldn't it make more sense
to actually promotes the
ways that video games can be helpful
to kids, rather than just declaring it so? I'm all for real studies
that show the positive impact games have for kids, but hyping up
something without substance just makes the arguments seem weak.
