it's a 'recoding' in legal and medical terms, they will use this in a few years to claim something like: video-game players are hopeless addicts and that video-games are like a drug to these people, they may also use it as evidence to say that video-game players are insane and need therapy.

in every name change or any change there is always a hidden agenda, it's never there for no reason.

obviously from the tone they are intending to also use it against more than just video games; any other job related field where the same task is done over and over again. which is every single job except the high paid ones, so at that they will say the general public is crazy and can't be trusted, our votes shouldn't count ETC. it's creating a world where the monetary aristocrats can rule without worry of public approval.

Why use video-games as the initial attack point?

elementary my dear Tuypo1, out of all the media in the entire world, TV, movies, radio, news, newspapers, magazines there is one huge difference to video-games;

Popular video games made by no name indie developers like me (who have a contrary opinion of government ideology) are able to publish their games into mainstream markets where the title may even make it into millions or billions of households via pirating and become famous and RESPECTED for it's opinion. NOT even youtube videos are feared! because youtube is respected as BULLSHIT from one average uneducated person the public can't trust to another uneducated person, AKA "no one believes what you say on youtube"

but the fact that people need some high level of technical knowledge to make a video-game lures people into actually taking the ideological messages displayed in games to heart and believing it.

the last reason they target video-games is a 2 part problem;

1; They can't figure out how to put their ideologies into a video-game!!!!!!!!!!

2; They can't figure out how to make good game-play or Plots!!!!!!! So no one will BUY IT or PLAY IT!!!!

simply put they don't like this ability of normal people to contradict their 'holy proclamation' that their word is the only valid opinion and everyone else is a terrible uneducated, ignorant, monstrous, bigot for expressing other views. in fact they really don't like the fact that video-games are a form of the public's voice that is RESPECTED and taken into CONSIDERATION by BILLIONS of PEOPLE. people they want to brainwash into believing things THEIR WAY.

that is why.

joshex may be a conspiracy theorist but conspiracy theorists hover far closer to the truth then anyone who doesn't pay attention to shit going on around them and who doesn't apply critical thinking to the world.

He may be partially wrong but he's looking in the right direction.

Wrong is wrong. Misplaced efforts, jumping at the first idea that comes to mind? Not respectable practices.

wrong is wrong in math not neccesarily in real life, if your 1% away from the truth, you have a high chance of success, the world is the opposite of black and white.
If you filter your water because you thing the government puts tapeworms in it but infact you should filter your water because it's full of chemicals and shit then you still have filtered water and you still live longer.
It's what works that matters, and understanding thatthe government is fucked up will work out for you weather you think they are aliens or demons or just assholes.
Hence why conspiricay theorists are at least, more right then the opposite, or apathetics.

Doing right things for the wrong reasons does not make that reasoning any more correct. Understanding ties heavily into success.

conspiracy theorists have definately been right more often then non conspiracy theorists. case in point being the "govenment is watching my everymove" turning out to be true and infact we are now apathetic about the whole fact, but in the past one saying that would be branded as a "crazy conspiracy theorist". The truth is conspiricy runs rampant among the people in power and therefore recognizing that, and looking for patterns and coming up with conclusions to try to find the truth between the mountains of crap(what a good conspiracy theorist will do if they aren't actually insane) will bring you far closer to being right then anyone doubting a conspiracy theorist.I don't think it's a misplaced effort.

I'm not sure we're arguing the same thing. This isn't a discussion I wish to have either, so I'm not going to clarify. Maybe if you ask me on Skype, where I can think about it in the back of my mind.

whilst i do agree with you in general its worth noting it does not actually matter if the government is watching you i dont give a fuck
