Games are evil - Gundam creator |
Listed in: Magazines, News Tags: Gundam, Jack Thompson, Japan
Seriously. According to him:
[Gaming] is not a type of activity that provides any support to our daily lives, and all these consoles are just consuming electricity! Let's say we have about three billion people on this planet wasting their time, bringing no productivity at all. Add 10 billion more people, and what would happen to our planet? Video games are assisting the death of our planet.
He doesn't stop there, though. Given the problem posed to us by gaming, as according to him, he offers a solution, and that is to challenge developers to improve their output.
The video game industry is now 30 years old. It is just the right time for the business' company structure and many other elements to become solid. But at the same time, it is also a point where there is uncertainty in its future. In order to overcome this uncertainty, it is important for experienced creators such as myself to talk about their experiences.
You have to find the median -- that games are not evil, perhaps not necessarily good either, but something that can be considered a pastime. What would make people enjoy a game? How do you make them feel like it is not just a waste of time?
He does make sense, now that he's expounded on his premise of gaming as evil. If you want to read up on the rest of his position regarding this matter, head over to the source link below. In the meantime, we can only wish we also had this giant Gundam to protect us from the world's evil forces.

How are they a waste of time?
maybe people should be wasting their life doing something they dont enjoy for paper instead?
Truth is, hes lucky enough to be doing something he enjoys and gets payed for it.. so it easy for him to say rubbish like that
but the environment? ***** off!
the only reason so many care is because the influential people are making money off of it and its in their interest to tell us its our fault!
You can bet your arm they wouldn't give a toss if there was no money in it and it wouldn't so widely accepted that its us causing it.

Watching animes consumes time also and electricy not just gaming. And how much electricity does that lifesize gundam consume anyway.

I know I will be flamed, and I know I will be told I am stupid, but here I go.
I understand this comment. In fact, I AGREE with it. Maybe not the beginning,
but rather, the whole rest of it.
"all these consoles are just consuming electricity!"
Definitely agree with that. I mean, in a PHYSICAL FACTOR, that is ALL games do. Just eat electricity. I don't care what you say, or how they are entertainment, that DOESN'T MATTER, In a PHYSICAL FORM: It only eats electricity. That's all it does, in a physical form of course.
But in a mental form, as stated here:
"
You have to find the median -- that games are not evil, perhaps not necessarily good either, but something that can be considered a pastime. What would make people enjoy a game? How do you make them feel like it is not just a waste of time?
"
Mentally, a game that can overall, make what the world thinks about games, change.
A game, that isn't amazing by ANY form of the word. It doesn't have a storyline, nor any main characters.
The online multiplayer isn't in depth. All it does, is connect you to another player, to take the single player, and turn it into a two on two game.
In fact, the above statement COMPLETELY opens up what he is talking about.
The fact is, in his standpoint, games are consuming electricity. That's It. And while it is fun, it is not doing ***** for our environment.
So, he says, why don't we make a game that EVERYONE loves. Something that EVERYONE can play.
Not like a casual game, nor a hardcore game. Something more along the lines of a sport. Something that EVERYONE will be able to understand.
Perhaps, a very new conceptual game,
Or maybe, a game that has been used in the past.
Think, MMO, - RPG, -weapons, -Rules.
You can fly, dance, every building is enterable.
THAT. Is a super game. Something that isn't Amazing by ANY sense of the word, but can get people to do ONE THING.
And this, is the MAJOR point he is trying to make. I mean MAJOR.
The one thing, he wants people to do, is:
COMMUNICATE
Communication is the SOUL of humanity. Think about it, without communication, we wouldn't be anywhere right now.
From the beginning of time, humanity has spoken to each other.
Either from voice, to phone, to TV, to internet. It is our main instinct. Humanity knows that we need it. People all ways love communication. It gives them knowledge, and understanding.
And, don't start crying, saying "Hey, How about online gaming, like Live, and Playstation Network?". Because those aren't the same. Sure, you are talking. But half the time, its things that are not about the world around you. The REAL world.
He wants a game, that reminds us of OUR world. A game, that would help US communicate. Communicate about EVERYTHING.
A game, that brings up values, daily life, and communication all together.
And he is correct.
while you may HATE the idea of it,
It definitely an idea that should be the basis of making a game.
But hey, what do I know? I am just the 5,000 pound whale-shark on the floor.

Seems your mouth drops farther than your balls.
If you thought it wrong, then tell me why.
Other than being a giant jack ass, and an obvious troll, you are simply being a smothering dumb ass.
And popmchnex, I agree.
But then I just lit some dude on fire and decided it was ok.

Going by his logic, anything that makes you happy is killing our planet. He also seems to have a dream where humanity continuing to exist is a good thing, or acting like the Earth will end while all of us are still on it.
He's just a deluded commoner, pay him no mind.

I say that anime at the "least" only consumes 30 minutes out of every other week while video games can consume a whole week for those that don't have a job or are still living with mommy/daddy.
This can instantly be turned around for those die-hard fanatics of anime who only watch anime and go to cosplay parties.
Honestly he made a statement, it's not like any of you @$$holes will make him change his mind about it.

if you hear it from someone involved with game production - you call him a hypocrite.
but if you hear it from someone with no game experience at all (not even a gamer) - you say he does not know what is he talking about? where is that golden place of credibility?
by saying games do not provide support to your daily life means that playing games will not give you a better job. there is little benefit from games. it does not help you with your life.
you waste a lot of money, you waste a lot of time (well, that depends on a person). do you somehow get your money's worth back?
and logical/educational games are only a tool to HELP with education, not replace it. besides you do not learn that quickly from them, anyway.

Besides, his crappy model toys and factories do their own harm to the environment. (And that life size gundam is a gigantic waste of resources).

Everything related to gundam uses electricty, paper, plastic and other resources....all taking it away from the environment.
Especially a life sized Gundam that constantly uses electricty just so it can move....if that is not a huge waste of resources, what is ?
