Maybe the DEA should get involved. Crack cocaine is kind of like video games. We could expand Obamas government and put video games under the perview of the ATFG...Alchohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Games....

Keep the government out of my computer. Obama and Congress can find their own porn, and the IRS can't parody Star Trek right so imagine the mess they would make of video games.

The government will be out of your computer when Moonglow votes Tea Party. He is almost there...he just does not know it yet.

Screw their "access". I used to watch television for free. Those days are gone. I used to go to the movies for $2.00 a ticket. Those days are gone. If there is money to be made by the millionaires and billionaires - they will have these kids PAYING in short order. If they don't like it? Tough shit. Cry to their mommies I guess.....

They'll vote out anyone that thinks net neutrality isn't a good idea. You can't have equal opportunity if the millionaires and billionaires can arbitrarily decide who gets good service and who doesn't.

Hey, I'm an avid gamer but I do manage to pay attention to my world. Now, if anyone needs me, I'll be in the fictional world of Sanctuary, the elections are coming.

 

[Anathema]

The Republican party is anti-net neutrality right now, which is potentially harmful to gaming. Can gamers imagine having to pay a premium so their online multiplayer won't get throttled? Does the GOP has what it takes to get the Millennial vote?

I wouldn't want the MMORPG crowd's votes. A sub - group whose main interest is a total divorce from reality and an activity where people can completely lose track of time and their surroundings.

Hell, if this were a proper society they'd never have had contact with people outside the USA to begin with.

Huh? So I should try to vote out those who own Directv because they charge me for my service??!!

If I'm not mistaken, millionaires don't give a crap if I pay my TV bill - they Just cut me off. I would contend that that is fairly "arbitrary". Wouldn't you?

And we can add online gamers to the LONG list of things Anachronism knows nothing about!

I'm not a computer gamer...and honestly,. I blame computer RPG's for ruining D&D.

Running or ruining?

 

[Jarlaxle]

Ruining. That was a bad typo even for me.

Keep thinking that the gamer vote consists of overgrown teens in a basement...

Adult Women are Now the Largest Demographic in Gaming

According to the study, last year saw a significant boom in women over 50—their numbers jumped by a whopping 32 percent between 2012 and 2013. The study alsorevealed that 59 percent of Americans play games, with gaming consoles present in 51 percent of all U.S. households.

All of that means that stereotypes are breaking fast in the gaming industry, particularly the longheld stereotype of the adult woman as an outlier who sticks to mobile games and "social" games on Facebook while the more hardcore gamer, the "serious" (male) gamer, goes for console games.

Though this stereotype has long persisted, and even been used as a hiring tactic, the new data suggests there's little if any truth to it—especially not when you consider that the average adult woman has been gaming for 13 years.

Sorry, male gamers of Reddit and 4Chan, but Angry Birds only came out five years ago. Unless you want to try to argue that women have just been playing Bejeweled for the last 13 years, the math just doesn't add up.

And while the total audience for mobile social games is now bigger than ever, the audience for computer and video games is now an even 50-50 split between male and female genders.

I've been a gamer since Pong and then Space Invaders, owned an Atari in 1982 and have bought every Nintendo made..

You know, I consider myself a gamer. But interest group politics is shit.

I guess you can say that Net Neutrality is an "interest group" issue...the "interest group" being provider conglomerates wanting to slow down usage if they don't pay, pay, pay.

It sure is. Everybody wants to use government to angle a buck out of someone else.
