I play Civilization and GTA. I'm worse than you Mass Effect war criminals. I'm Milosevic himself.
I have easily a couple thousand playtime hours across Civ II, III and IV. The Red Cross or whoever couldn't even properly categorize the amount of digital death I've dealt out. We're talking extinction events per day statistics here.

It must be over 5000 hours for me!
*evilol*
This makes me wonder if overall I have killed more people or saved more people in video games.
It's probably killed. By a landslide.
So if we slaughter all the pokemon.
Well no official pokemon game has allowed you to slaughter or even kill pokemon so I doubt you can get done for genocide, but I do think you need to be taken to trial for slavery, cruelty to animals and participation in illegal animal trafficking and fighting leagues.
But seriously is this a joke article? I know there are stupid people in the world but this is full blown retarded, I refuse to believe that any organization capable of adding 2 and 2 together would waste their time on such nonsense therefore this must be a joke article and/or site.

OLD news Genga.
i remenber someone pointing out sarcasticaly how COD was more realistic in how the Americans were never repremanded. i think it was MatPat.
Now that I think in NWN games as a Paladin or Cleric I've cured some sick people with Healing spells.
Yeah but they were all bad.
Most of them, probably.
...We're just gonna ignore my KotoR/SWtoR playthroughs =P

Good job, guys.

I think this is well overdue. I play forza motorsport on xbox but ensure i never exceed 50km/h. The tracks are not sign posted with speed limits and being in South Australia, no speed limit sign means 50km/h. I donât win many races but the experience of driving many different cars at the speed limit is nothing less than exhilarating. At the end of the day I can go to bed and sleep soundly knowing my AI and online opponents are the ones who will get caught in the end.

"Infinity Ward, may we use this picture of your game, Resident Evil 4, for our story?"
"S-sure."

Is that The Flash's father?
Second, the observation that war games largely ignore the Geneva Conventions is nothing new. But when we add "realistic military shooters" (some of which are sponsored by the US military, for example), modern FPSs which take place in "realistic conflict zones", and the relationships these video games have with arms manufacturers, it become clear why this might be a thing we'd like to discuss a bit more, industry-wise (and as gamers too - it's important to take a critical look at the media you enjoy and consume time to time. IMO).
So some companies have a relationship with Arms Manufacturers and...?
Is picking up hookers then killing them to get my money back in GTA a humanitarian crime? 
[snip]
Yeah, that's actually accurate. Sad, but accurate. Although they've at least been trying to bring the perpertators of the Yugoslav Wars to justice in ICC... albeit with mixed results, at times. At least they managed to get some of the people who were responsible of the Srebrenica genocide convicted. (And incidentally: great job with that, UN! You really came through!)
Also, to nitpic: he forgot looting (at least to me, that looked like a civilian apartment), so that'd make 5 war crimes in under a minute.

The real crime is the money I spend to paint my guns in GTA V!

Are you happy with yourself?

... and they're using games (which, again, break the GCs) as an early marketing opportunity (the article I linked even mentions a 12-year-old COD player who says he'd like to own the real deal one day, so apparently it works [to some degree, at least]). And, some of these manufacturers sell their weapons in unstable countries and war zones, and buying a game which they have licensed puts even more money in their pockets.
I don't know about you, but I find this information relevant when we talk about war in games and violence in games.
I did develop and use nuclear weapons in Civilization 2 back in the day. I guess its the death penalty for me.

It wasn't fun until Civilization III. Yet I didn't used to utilize nukes so much because of political sh*tstorm around the world against me.
But in few days ago in Civilization V, Zulu has retardly nuked me 8 times (his old capital 6 times) and I only answered it with just one nuke. Now I feel like a softie...

In that case I don't even want to know how they feel about Terror Stars from Gal Civ 2.
I've destroyed entire star systems.
I've killed millions in my video games. I have many counts of genocide, thievery, extortion, poaching and illegal street racing. Why, I've shot down 1 million enemy pilots in Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn alone. If you think about it, I've killed enough to fill the graveyard of an entire small country.
If they want me to stand trial, they are going to have to do it in my video games and they'll have to catch me there first.
