Stop making Games a Scapegoat !

Monkey holding baseball batIt's no secret that the media always makes games a scapegoat, even when the crime hardly has anything to do with it. There have been those car crashes when "Need For Speed" was blamed. Then, there's been those murders when games like GTA have been blamed. Well, a new case is here. And this time, it's the big momma, an XBox itself ! The case is about a murder which took place in 2004, when a group of evicted squatters went back to claim their XBox.

A few details about the case :
  • Parents left the home for a vacation.
  • Squatters moved in without permission. With an XBox.
  • The daughter went to check the house and found the squatters.
  • She got them evicted, but their XBox stayed there.
  • While she was sleeping, the squatters went back for their console.
  • Squatters kill 6 people, and a dog with a baseball bat.
Now, our deepest sympathies are with the families. Nobody can possibly guess the bad times that they've gone through. But when you start blaming the XBox for it, that's taking it a bit too far. People like Jack Thompson want these kind of news, so that they can begin their fresh attacks on Game manufacturers.

I'm sorry but the media has no right to blame the XBox. Finish the case, put those criminals in Jail. We don't care. Just spare our games and gaming systems.

Notice : We, at QJ.NET have nothing but our greatest sympathies for the affected family. We meant no disrespect to anyone here. Our sincere apologies if anyone gets offended by it.
