How would you react if games were suddenly banned?

[mrsertich]

I would release my army I have been preparing and push colorful buttons on my PAIN console.

 

[mikecoulter]

Play a real life version of Gran Turismo and GTA. They'd be sorry...

 

[Glerken]

I'd say bummer.
Then find a different way to entertain myself.
And I'd force Unskippable to make fun movie trailers.

 

[Aesir23]

Start an underground gaming ring. It would be protected by genetically modified gorillas with machine guns for hands and lasers on the sides of their heads.

 

[SLy AsymMetrY]

I'D BURN THIS ************ DOWN!

That would show them that letting people play games doesn't turn us into murderers.... TAKING THEM AWAY DOES!

Hell YEAH!

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

I'd keep playing them. What else? Then I would just pirate whatever I needed because it would already be illegal. Then I would join any petitions or protests against the ban.

 

[TurkMafia]

Weekly I'd get a box and defecate in it then mail that baby off along with a disgruntled letter to whomever put forth the ban. In the meantime I'd do just about what everyone else is saying, batten down the hatches and game in secrecy.

This is of course if the collective masses of gamers hadn't already overthrown whatever country's gov't that did this, in that case I'd be right in there with the rest of them with a burning torch and pitch fork.

 

[dreadmaster]

well i would just watch old versions of virals untill thers a uprising then no more ban

 

[ShawnRiles]

They wouldn't, it would cause a VERY VERY VERY large amount of people losing their jobs, and with a very large amount of people who play video games, which would cause a uproar in people.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Same as Jedoro but I would also recruit other players and start a world wide rebellion.

Could I join?

I would be a member of that rebellion.

This thread might just as well ask what we'd do if everyone in the world suddenly had to pay for oxygen, or if any fluid besides water became illegal to drink.

your right after all i think most of us would get just as violent if we were forced to pay for air as we would with a game ban, god knows if anything like that happened there would be a reckoning probably with those that have nothing to live for besides games suicide bombing those responsible

Attach a big ol' lump of thermite to my hard drive so when the FBI comes calling they don't have a case. Until they actually walk through the door, keep playing.

um wouldnt a few large electromagnets do the same thing with a whole lot less chance of getting arrested for igniting thermite in your house?

 

[la-le-lu-li-lo]

Play the old ones...?

Be forced to get a real life...?

Read more...?

All just ideas. ^^

 

[.Ricks.]

Same as Jedoro but I would also recruit other players and start a world wide rebellion.

Need we say more?... except switching "rebellion" for "LAN PARTY!"

 

[KP Shadow]

i would kill people and blame a book, lets see how people react!!!

it would probably depend very seriously on the book, what did you have in mind?

i would probably be safe, thanks to the fact that i play virtually no very violent games. let's see someone ban chess and say that that is to protect people from being violently murdered.

oohh, i dont know, Jack the Ripper, some book that describes step by step how he disembowels people or such (i have read some but dont remember the name), it would also work if i raped girls and blamed it to the books of "Sade" (i have read some too) or something like that, obviously something in tune, people have to realize how stupid it sounds that a "fictional" setting would make someone do anything.

No, even better, blame the Bible. Imagine what would happen if you were to commit a ton of insane crimes, then say that reading the Bible drove you to do it.

On topic, I'd probably protest, show them that Game Overthinker video, and if they didn't lift the ban, well, *demonic voice* I'd disembowel them and sell their organs on the black market.

 

[Glover09]

I'd keep playing, I'd just stick to my racing games.

 

[NeutralDrow]

Laugh at the news, dismiss it as the lie that it is, and play a few levels of Devil May Cry.

I was thinking more along the lines of that the idea was so ridiculous, because it couldn't possibly happen.

IF it actually did happen, then I reckon the world would already be in such a horrible state that the loss of video games should be the last of our worries.

By moving on.
