What would you do if playing video games became illegal?

[Marc]

So yeah. One day a law was passed throughout the world making playing any type of video games illegal. Apparently they thought playing video games is sort of like taking drugs and becoming addicted >.<

How would you react and what would you do?

 

[Demon_Skeith]

We actually have something like that going on right now, it's called TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) and would limit intellectual property which would affect gaming and anime alike. It wouldn't outright ban video games but its not like you can do more with it after you're done playing the game (like making stories or pictures based on the game or possibly have a forum on it.)

But yeah, to your question I wouldn't be happy. I do need games to relax and kill sometime in the day.

 

[froggyboy604]

I wouldn't be happy as well since I play games when I am bored and to relax.

I would write a letter to the government asking them to make video games legal again, and sign petitions to make video games legal again.

I probably try other hobbies like board games, card games like Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and remote control toys like drones, cars and planes , so I wouldn't be as bored because there is nothing to play.

I would stop playing video games and find some other addiction that was legal, I guess...

 

[J-RAY]

I would break the law if possible but if it was tons of trouble to get a hold of games I would probably just evolve and do something else.

Some video games are illegal in certain countries. I heard that Minecraft was banned in Turkey last year, and also Australia banned some video games for being too violent.

There's quite a few restrictions going around harming the experience already (Nintendo + youtube?). Can't imagine an unjust law is something I'd put up with.

There are quite a few unjust laws in today's society that people seem to put up with...

simply how the world is sadly.

Keep playing them, and tell anyone else to do their worst. There are already a few things I'm involved with that are somewhat questionable, this would just be another example.

 

[Claraviolet]

I will be bored to death.
More like, I wouldn't know what to do but then again with anime, I might not actually die

 

[Kita]

If they become illegal I will just break the law. Easy.

 

[WitchAssassin]

I would just have to find other things to do. Luckily, I enjoy reading and would be able to use that to keep myself entertained. Now, if they made reading illegal then I'd be in trouble.

 

[froggyboy604]

I probably also watch gameplay video on Twitch and YouTube from foreign gamers if gaming was illegal.

 

[JamesTerranova]

How illegal are we talking here?? FBI raiding the block over a Fallout session or just a slowly applied pressure to stop playing?? Either way...I think I'd adjust to it and probably be a whole hell of a lot more productive with my life overall. I guess that's a sad statement eh?

 

[heroineAnita]

Well, I don't think that would be completely possible, I mean to ban every video game in the world.

But I guess I will break the law. I need video games to escape monotony. :rolleyes:
