Grumpy Old Man

The Times really is trying to shoe in on the sensationalism of the Sun and the Daily Mail, at least when it comes to video games. First, we had last weeks reaction to the Byron Report, and now this article. Here’s a taster:

I hate being told to immerse myself in <video games> before passing judgment, because it feels like being told to immerse myself in smack and teenage pregnancy before passing judgment on them.

I have no idea who this writer is, but after reading this article I have no desire to hear his opinion ever again. I could waste my time picking apart his argument, but what would be the point. The holes are as clear as day. That the Times will publish such drivel is shocking in and of itself. More from Kotaku here.

Edit: Looks like the Telegraph has printed an equally absurd ‘comment‘ (thanks Evo).
