Apparently it's all game's fault... Again. This article is not even fake https://bbc.com/news/av/...

Of course, it's common sense that shooter games also makes us all go rampage, so why wouldn't games containing suicide make us all suicidal?

@Krokoklemme "You might laugh about that, but those are real issues! Since I played Stardew Valley, I started farming night and day! It's getting out of hand!"

I have been trying to keep myself from breaking the word limit ranting about this since it's not dev related

I'm so done with these dumb "video game journalist's" 😧.

suicide themed bbc articles drew me in and now I'm committing suicide.

Not surprising. Not to mention, there was also a fucking self harm part that was triggering as hell.

The warnings weren't good enough. It would have been better if they had a list about what could be a possible trigger for people.

@Alice Nah, it doesn't work with movies because Hollywood. They have enough money, lawyers and other connections to avoid that

@Alice True that! Guess it's not "mainstream" enough *shrugs*

The "public" and related media, have an unfortunate tendency on focussing on the wrong thing. Sometimes because they actually want to shift the views on a particular topic, but mostly because they're incompetent.

@Alice It's been a while since I've paid attention to this kind of news, but I do remember when I was younger getting confused as to why Germany was changing/censoring games like Wolfenstein, Doom, etc.

Glad they learnt!

PS: Maybe those people that tried to stir the public opinion finally found a real job, who knows.

If that's depressing they should try "this war of mine" or "frostpunk"
