- Yesterday, we ran a piece exposing the scare tactics media like to use when discussing video games and violence. Flashy edits, buzzwords, complete ignorance, that sort of thing. Today Katie Couric, the host of the particular segment we analysed, reached out to her Twitter followers to ask for the “positive side” of violent games.
When I noticed her tweet, I went to look at the replies. Some were decent! Others… not so much. I decided it had to do with her particular brand of audience. She wasn’t getting the full scope of the gamer audience, and that wouldn’t be fair. So I retweeted her on Kotaku‘s official Twitter account. And boy, you guys did not disappoint.
