Nice to see the Governor focusing on the real issues. I mean, things like reforming Medicaid and cutting NY's ridiculous high taxes and regulatory climate are just petty stuff.

There are lots of crucial issues.

However, violence is a problem. And, many games are a problem—especially for some personality types reared in some types of homes.

Not sure what the solution is.

That’s just ridiculous. NYC doesn't even know how many internet cafes are operating in the 5 boroughs. And now they’re supposed to monitor the software on here to forth unknown PC hardware?

I really can’t see violent video games having the impact that the guv says they do. Kids that play these games enough to have their brains scrambled are lazy losers; they’d never find the motivation to go out into the real world to engage in real mortal kombat.

Just doing what he knows how to do. Suing, not governing.

He is going to lose:

ESA awarded attorneys fees in fight against Louisiana video game law

A Federal Judge has awarded the Entertainment Software Association attorneys' fees after a Louisiana law regulating the sale of violent video games was found unconstitutional.

For those keeping tabs on the financial costs of failed video game legislation, the Louisiana decision runs the total tab to over $1.71 million in attorneys' fees that have been awarded to the ESA, including $182,349 in Michigan and over $510,000 in Illinois. That $1.71 million covers nine rulings over seven years.

 

$1.71 million of taxpayers' money has gone to the "Entertainment Software Association" so far -- just to cover the attorneys' fees of states losing in court.

Imagine the settlements if the ESA were to sue states for actual civil rights violations.... there could be billions in damages, caused only by the effort to ban certain videogames.

I’d like to see this turkey try to play something basic like doom or quake. He probably could miss with the BFG9000.
