I think it's crazy how a multi BILLION dollar company, had a back door that hackers were able to access and attack unsuspecting users.
It is also stupid how the media continues to blame video games for making kids "crazy," "psychopaths," and "violent." There wouldn't be so much of this 'let's blame the video game companies for the horrible things going on, instead of taking responsibility for what kind of media and entertainment little timmy is taking in.' Hopefully some day people will understand that it isn't little timmy's fault for being marketed a game that his stubborn ass parents were to ignorant to look into before hand
A quote from one of the GrokIt articles for today says that "... PUBG...spur(s) violence and diverts students from their academics.
Interesting article about the reaction that India is taking towards the PUBG mobile game. Sounds like the country is really behind the times with coming to terms with their emergence into the digital world. We had these same reactions in the US but long ago even with some backlash to lyrics in some songs back in the day. What is available on the smartphone and apps that people can download is the new reality when you want to extend access to the internet.

I think its crazy. I feel its just makes us look bad that we play these certain violent games, even though its pretty much fantasy and not real. I do have to agree it is addicting.
