“It’s just a video game.”

Really?

I don’t think that’s a valid response in 2008.

Not if you care about video games.

It implies that games have no cultural impact, that they are the entertainment field’s Las Vegas: What goes on in games stays in games. It’s a defense used to explain that “[B]Manhunt[/B]” won’t turn people into murderers any more than “[B]Pirates of The Caribbean[/B]” will turn anyone into a pirate.
