  In some cultures, when 1 child dies the entire village gets involved. 20 kids dies and 7 adults. to me asking the gaming community to get involved is a small request. #OSCeaseFire

    And you don’t think the communities in real life aren’t doing anything about it. As far as I understand that whole town the shooting took place in is in mourning and is involved. What does this have to do with anything related to games or the gaming community at all? It can be argued that the gaming community is virtual. Where it isn’t on a local or national level, it is on a worldwide level and the community itself isn’t affected on local happenings in the world at large. Nothing like this was conceived when that man in Norway shot up all those kids. Everyday in places like Syria and other anarchic third-world countries hundreds of innocent children, men, and women dies needlessly every single day. Do we hold mourning for them by avoiding FPS games while thinking it will magically do something or send a message? No, because it won’t do anything, it won’t send a message, and it won’t fix anything or make anything for the better. The gaming community isn’t America. Just because this happened in U.S.A doesn’t make it a worldwide problem.

    Hey just wanted to say that while watching updates of the massacre I came across your viral vid on the news. Never heard of this site before, but gaming and health are two major components of my life. It’s cool to see a place like this. There are a lot of haters out there in regards to this action. As a member of the gaming community I don’t see this as me legitimizing the graphic nature of games as the catalyst for sociopaths. Just a symbolic sign of respect. So you have my participation. #OSCeaseFire

This whole idea is retarded. And what does this really achieve? Nothing. What did games have to do with the shooting? Nothing. What did FPS games have to do with the shooting? Nothing. How is this “showing love and support”? It isn’t. This isn’t sending a message to anyone, this won’t accomplish anything, all it does is make it seem like this idea and the people who are behind it are driven into some kind of guilt trip because they think video games are in some way to blame for this shooting and are trying to blame it on something. Video Games don’t kill people, guns don’t kill people, only people kill people. So why in the hell is everybody trying to pass the fault on everything except the person who is at fault and did the shooting. This is very immature, this article should be removed and forgotten about and everybody should move on with their lives. If you really feel that bad about the shooting then why don’t, you know actually try to do something, like donating to the families affected, sending them a anonymous sorry letter, etc. Not doing something like pausing video games with guns for a day and thinking it will do something or send a message, because it won’t.

This is a media shift, Making it seem like Violent videogames are the problem, The problem is, People look for an excuse to shift the reason why this happen, Also claiming this as a Worldwide thing is pretty selfish, So we should have a Day of solace by not eating oriental food for those kids who got stabbed over at a Chinese daycare as well?

Video games aren’t the problem, the society is.
shitstainscarpet68

I’m a mother. I have two boys who love their shooter games. I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to take them away for the day and I don’t think it will help anyone if I did! I think it’s nice that you guys are trying to help but perhaps this is not the best way. If you really want to help, donate to the families affected or send them a compassionate letter.

Cancel the event, we aren’t fools here and we know how the media works. If you go through with allowing this to happen ,the media will latch onto it like a starving dog and the blame will never end.

It’s officially taking the blame that it happened, you Antwad pearman, WANT video games to be blamed and taken away. You’re not asking the NRA to stop going to rifle ranges for the day, or for the country to stop giving gun permits, you’re blaming a digital medium that has nothing to do with guns but in image.

I honestly think you’re trying to push your own agenda and get video games banned with some sly reverse-troll maneuver. But honestly it’s transparent ,and nobody is falling for it.
Sarah

117,465 US soldiers and civillians die in WW1 = 1 minute of silence
28 US people die in Connecticut = 24 hours of No Fun Allowed

No thanks. I’ll just opt for the 1 minute of silence. It’s much more classy and certainly more relevant than whatever you think video games has to do with the shooting.
sweet onii-chan

America, so baka~

You could just ban guns instead of not playing videogames for one day~

BUT THIS DIDN’T HAPPEN BECAUSE OF VIDEOGAMES! THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE A SICK MAN WAS DRIVEN TO THE BREAKING POINT. WHAT THE HELL, AMERICA!?

  everyone has their own way of showing respect.
  as for the *keep your opinion to yourself* part of your comment, its an opinion, therefor, ment to be heard, good or bad, you have no right to deny anyone posting, or telling others, what their personal opinion is.
Hellno

Nope. I care about what happend but i wont stop playing games because of it. Video games are not to blame here.

i support my son in wanting to do this its not about gun control psycos etc .This is about honoring those who died in connecticut.So you have totake a day off yur game so what go outside exercise make friends geez
- http://twitter.com/BambiBlue Bambi Blue
  
  This is exactly why some aren’t taking the day off. Because of attitudes like yours; gamers are already seen as lazy, friendless losers and addicts. Taking the day off, to some, will just help feed the ‘video games are the problem’ trolls.
  
  I’m all about honouring the dead so I’ll be donating my money instead of feeding into an already hurtful stereotype. No Couch Potactovism for me.
Jason Page

I feel like this just legitimises that we take the concerns of people blaming videogames as the cause of such violence seriously.

I do not want to send the message that I take such blame seriously, as thus I won’t be participating, such people are to be ignored until they go away, not give more media attention to their cause by attempting to defend or represent ourselves. They destroy themselves when given the opportunity to spout their stupidity for long enough anyway, there’s just no need to engage them at all.
http://twitter.com/Gary_Oaks Steve Oaks

If you love video games, why are you doing this? This is as good as admitting that video games create monsters that shoot up schools. Why would you perpetuate this myth? I’ll be playing Counter Strike all day on the 21st.

so, i feel bad for the people affected by this, but i will not be doing this “cease fire” thing. i do have respect, but i see no reason for me to take it out of my day to stop doing somthing i enjoy. sorry.
i also have problems with companys and news, and other people blaming this on games, when shootings were around WAAAY befor games were out. video games just get used as a scape goat, and its annoying and retarded.
plus, if the worlds gonna end, ima be having my fun when it does. (though i really really dont think it will end)

  the shootings began with widespread prescription of SSRI’s to children 30 years ago.

Nah, I’d rather show my love and support by sending letters to the families of the departed. Having a cease fire with shooting games just shows support for all the moronic nonsense that video games create the sociopaths that murder others.

I played video games a lot when I was a kid and teenager. I am surprised how violent video games still exists and I feel a bit strange when I see all this free violence more realistic that before.

It is a great first step, that you decided to call a Cease Fire in online gaming.
A wonderful symbol.

Even if in video games it is ‘fake’ wars, it still reflects something in all our minds.

I have a profound wish that the human degradation state of mind will leave our planet day by day.

This is a deep, thoughtful & very good idea. The statistics will never be released to indicate wheather online shooter gamers have complied with this ceasefire request or not. But if you take it on board to think about the recent victims for just one day, then you will know you are capable of maturity and respect for others. I am a self confessed shooter game addict but I will ceasefire on Dec 21, respect the fallen and find something else to do. Those who say “it won’t make any difference” may be right. The difference however will be with you.

When firefighters die they get there moments of silence , When soldiers die they get the half mast why is it so wrong we choose not to play a shooter for one day? I did so out of respect and I do not believe games caused what happend for the same token I do not believe movies or shows did either. But I did choose to cease fire out of respect not because I let others win over me but for the fact I wanted to show the world that these games dont make Me of Us cold blooded killers , they do not cause us to want to do harm to our fellow man. God bless those who are lost and there love ones and God bless all of us.

It’s time to ban violent video games
http://twitter.com/h2obluematter H2O BlueMatter

People who are against this gesture are obviously people who dont participate in things like christmas, or black history month, or even veterans day. This event is not meant to stop people from shooting up something. Its meant to show support and give your condolences to those who lost thier lives and to the families.

One day someone you love will perish….and when they do, i hope you get the same support you gave here. None.

Great idea! This is about giving up your “normal” life to show respect to those who died. If you can’t, that’s very very sad.

And the media has swarmed in and picked this apart like vultures. Thanks for helping providing them a scape-goat hold on the video-games though.

By the cease-fire it is proving that video-games do have a violent effect by those who play them. Not that they are harmless.
