Personal responsibility is dead. Politicians love being able to blame 'things'. Like games or guns, that way, they can be the good guy when they tell their constituents: "It's not your fault, all we need to do is get rid of this nasty gun or video game and everything will be better."
I dunno, as someone who has actually fired a gun in real life, it seems almost laughable to compare playing GTA to shooting a real gun, much less shooting real people. It's not the same....not even close, well, the gun shooting part at least, never killed anyone. Shooting a gun though, in real life? Not even the slightest bit similar to shooting one in a game.
Regardless of what you think about Steam, the DirectX monopoly needs to end. Plus, OpenGL is faster than DirectX. Competition is always good. http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/133824-valve-opengl-is-faster-than-directx-even-on-windows
Penn and Teller did this experiment quite literally on their show. Took a young boy, who was also a heavy gamer, and let him shoot an AR15 at a range, he shot one shot and had tears in his eyes. Fantasy is VERY different from real life, doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
