Translator 549690339
âAt the beginning of the show, a video was played. â
âThe title at the bottom was,âGrand Theft Auto, is it a perfect masterpiece in the game industry or a violent game that instigates crime?â â
âOn the screen, there were many news and information related to GTA, real-time discussions, screenshots of online posts, game information, and so on, appearing one after another. â
âââGrand Theft Auto (the English name is GTA) has attracted a lot of attention since it was first released. So far, it has swept the global game market, with millions of sales. Itâs also been popular on live-streaming and video-streaming websites all over the world. Just last week, tgnn, the worldâs leading video game media, gave Grand Theft Auto a full score and used âGodâ,âpinnacleâ, and âlegendaryâ to describe the gameâs historical status. ââ â
âââBut correspondingly, the violence and criminal content displayed in the game also caused a worldwide controversy. Some experts, scholars, and opinion leaders on the internet believe that this game is instigating crime, and has the suspicion of disrespecting women, abusing animals, and vilifying certain professions. ââ â
âââThere has never been a game in the history of gaming that has brought as much controversy as Grand Theft Auto, and with the help of the next generation of VR, this game is becoming the most influential game in the world. According to statistics, although the number of players in this game was less than ten million, the number of players who watched the game through live streaming websites and video websites could reach more than one billion. Even though the audience is almost all adults under the grading system, such a huge influence is still worrying. ââ â
[Has Grand Theft Auto been demonized?]
âââWill it bring pure entertainment to the players, or will it have negative effects?ââ â
âââIf this game causes a negative impact on society, who will be responsible?ââ â
âââTodayâs current affairs debate has invited Grand Theft Autoâs designer, Thunderbolt Entertainmentâs CEO, Mr. Chen Mo, as well as the experts and scholars who have raised objections to the game. Is Grand Theft Auto a cultural product or a mental poison?ââ â
âAfter a burst of cool lights and warm applause from the audience, the spotlight shone on the hostâs face. â
âThe host, Hu Yue, was one of the most famous male hosts in the country. She had good facial features, was logical and organized, and spoke very quickly. For a program like ââtodayâs current affairs debate ââto not deviate too much from the topic during a heated debate, the hostâs skills were evident. â
âââDiscuss todayâs current affairs and pay attention to society and peopleâs livelihood. Hello, everyone. Iâm the host of todayâs current affairs debate, Hu Yue. Before the show starts, Iâll ask the audience in front of the TV and computer screens a question. After this episode is over, what kind of entertainment will you choose for the night? Are you watching TV, reading books, or playing games?ââ â
âââGame game. The most popular game right now is what we call the next generation VR game Grand Theft Auto, and players around the world prefer to call it by its English abbreviation, GTA. ââAs the video said, it is indeed popular all over the world, but it is also being criticized all over the world. There are people criticizing it all over the world. Is this kind of criticism reasonable? is GTA a mental poison? then, may I ask all the guests, professor Xu?ââ â
Hu Yue raised her hand and the camera panned to the guest next to her.
âProfessor Xu, the director of the quality Education Research Center of a certain Normal University, had white hair and looked to be in his sixties. However, he was in good spirits and looked to be full of fighting strength.ââOf course I am. Iâm not the only one who thinks so. In fact, some research centers in European and American countries have come to a similar conclusion. Long-term playing of violent games will cause damage to the left brain, and these symptoms are exactly the same as some drugs. ââ â
âHu Yue continued,ââwhen many players hear professor Xuâs point of view, they think that this statement is too serious.ââ However, I have to say that there are indeed such criticisms of violence in the world. So, brother Zhibin, what do you think?ââ â
âThe camera panned to another male guest. He was wearing glasses and was around 30 years old. His title was ââsenior media personnelââ Zhang Zhibin. â
âââI think the termââ poison ââis too much. If itâs poison in professor Xuâs eyes, itâs at best a soda in my eyes. On the surface, it seemed like the media was criticizing it, as if the whole nation was condemning it. However, that was not the case. There were many, many players who supported GTA on the internet. Why do you say itâs a carbonated drink? if you drink too much every day like water, youâll definitely get diabetes. But drink less, itâs good for your body and mind. ââ â
âProfessor Xu immediately said,ââbut, will drinking beverages make people commit crimes?ââ However, the violent factors presented in the game will have a real impact on peopleâs behavior, and even play a role of instigation. ââ â
âZhang Zhibin laughed.ââBut many of us here grew up playing games. Especially for people my age. But I didnât commit any crimes.ââ â
âProfessor Xu waved his hands.ââYou didnât commit any crime, but that doesnât mean that other people have the same self-control ability as you. It also doesnât mean that the game has the same negative impact on everyone.ââ â
âââNo problem!ââ Hu Yue hurriedly interrupted.ââAlright, letâs not discuss the connection between the two for now. Letâs just talk about the impact of the game itself. Brother Mugang, brother baiyou, what do you two think?ââ â
âThe screen switched to the other two guests. One of them had the title of ââfamous bloggerââ Yuan Mugang, and the other was ââWolf fatherââ Chen baiyou. The former looked to be in his 50s, while the latter was in his early 40s. â
âThe âfamous bloggerâ Yuan Mu just said,ââââI used to play computer games for one to two months, and I played ten hours a day. Finally, I have a lumbar disc herniation. It happened twice a year because of playing games. Then, in recent years, I controlled it while playing games, and I never had a lumbar disc herniation again. ââ â
âThe other Wolf father, Chen baiyou, said,ââââIâve always emphasized to my children that if you want to be the winner of this society, you have to put an end to all games. Those who are addicted to games are losers because you have no ability to resist the temptation. However, there are only a few parents like me in society. What about those parents who are busy with work and have a lot of things to do? They can only accept the poison and temptation of games to children. ââ ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHu Yue nodded.ââOkay, most of our guests have expressed their opinions. Next, letâs invite the designer of Grand Theft Auto, Mr. Chen Mo, to express his opinions.ââ On the surface, it looks like a two-on-three, which doesnât seem very fair, but itâs actually Mr. Chen Moâs own request. What do you think of this?ââ â
