    I was actually prepared for the Forbes article to be the type of article it criticizes. I’d say the title is under selling the article, and I bet the downvotes are making the same assumption I was.

    I also think the title of article is intentionally made to target the people that actually needs to read the Forbes being critical of yet a nother idiotic attempt by other media outlets to villify gaming.

      Boomers trying for that Satanic Panic BS again. 😜 Yeah, that totally worked last time, gramps. TTRPGs are a multi-billion global industry, now. Fuckin’ blue hairs.

      edit: Can you imagine what it would be like to have demonstrative pedestrian justice against CEOs, et al, be widely accepted as “cool AF” & something everyone’s at least a little curious about? What a Game Night changer, eh 😂🤘🏽

        For real like sure it’s not hearing his mother die in pain because insurance companies and experience the same pain himself, it’s gotta be amoung us that led him to commit murder

            Oh in his manifesto he describes his mother’s slow and painful death caused by their insurance denying claims, and delaying or preventing treatment.

      Usually games like Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto are cited in these instances, but as there are no proven links between video games and real world violence, and Among Us would be a wholly new category of game here.

      I thought the title was just made to take advantage of trending searches on Google.

      This looks like a cash grab article.
