Effects Debates 
Violence 
There are people that do believe that violence can occur from people playing 
video games they believe that the video games cause the violence and cause 
allot of the things what are shown on the media to be coursed by violence are 
due to the video games and there is also people that believe that it doesn’t 
matter about the games if someone is doing to do something violent they will 
do it with or without a video game. In my opinion I believe that video games 
don’t effect peoples violence but it can provoke it by cause people to get angry 
by certain things on a video game but at the same time allot of people play 
video games who don’t cause violence so you can’t take games away from 
everyone because of a small minority of the people cause violence because of 
them. An example of this would be the elderly lady playing GTA V in a video 
you can see the lady being aggressive and showing that she is enjoying what 
she is doing on the game. 
Explicit Sexual Content 
The inclusion of sex and nudity in video games has been a controversial topic 
since the early days of the industry. While many video games have used 
scantily clad images or characters to sell or enhance games this article deals 
with games that use sex acts or nudity as a character motivation, in-game 
reward, or simply as a gameplay element. These games originate worldwide, 
on most platforms and in most genres. While releases in Europe and North 
America have been sporadic, Japan has seen the emergence of a distinct genre 
in my opinion one way or the other people are going to be exposed to sexual 
content in games it’s just a matter of time in my opinion but I do believe they 
could reduce the amount of sexual content and prevent anything happening if 
so an example of this would be the game Catherine it’s a game which has 
explicit content in it but allot of people have played it and seen the 
inappropriate content.
Abusive/ Inappropriate 
Some people believe that they are being abused or bullied online whilst 
playing with other players who take game to serious when either they are 
being beaten or they are struggling to play against another player this is usually 
seen in games like the Call Of Duty genre when people get killed by other 
players allot and they just scream abuse towards them and it can be seen the 
other way round even if the player is winning. Allot of people have witnessed 
or been a part of this but in my opinion it can’t be the games fault because 
there is a few bad eggs playing there game and spoiling it for the others. 
Another game example would be in Far Cry 3 the character vaas the character 
is everything but friendly he is your main target and the one you are inspired 
to kill because of the heartbreak he has caused your family and the pain he 
puts you threw. 
Addiction 
Game addiction is a common thing it is seen when players are playing a game 
they really like so they play it allot but it is also seen when they play game they 
like but there just not that good at it so they play it allot even though they get 
angry and aggressive because the game can frustrate them even though they 
aren’t good at it they will still come back and play it because it’s something 
they have set their mind on so they play it until they get what they want out of 
it. An example of this would be in games like Call of Duty Battlefield and FIFA 
Games this is a common thing addiction for many games it can be bad and 
good depending on who is playing the games so in my opinion I believe that 
people are more affected from games depending on how good they are and 
depending on how much they really want to play it.
Stereotyping and Representation 
This is when the main Usually Male character is made out to be the hard man 
or the hero and usually the women characters are made to look like the weak 
and useless ones in the games an example of this would be in games like Talien 
in the game Middle-earth Shadow of Mordor the character is made out to be a 
badass who can take on the world but everyone else in the game is made out 
to look weak and worthless but the main character is made to look the best to 
make people think he is the best possible character in the game. In my option 
this is used to make people believe that what is going on the game is true so 
for example in the game GTA V one of the characters Franklin is made to be a 
gangster and because he is coloured people automatically assume people are 
going to be gangsters if they are coloured so it makes people believe things 
without thinking first. 
Censorship 
This is when the worst things in a game are censored to prevent the public 
from seeing the content an example of this would be left for dead 2 in 
Australia they got the game censored by preventing players from seeing the 
gore and all the good stuff they did this by preventing zombies bodies from 
staying on the ground after being killed and they made it so you wouldn’t see 
any of the blood on the character’s faces this is a big thing because players are 
missing out on everything the game has to offer. I personally think this is 
pointless because it’s just cutting out the little things players will still get access 
to the content one way or another and they will be exposed to this kind of this 
sometime so why not on a games to make it less shocking
