Violent video games are once again taking the stage of political controversy as Illinois Rep. Marcus C. Evans, Jr. introduces legislation that would ban all sales of violent video games in the state. The bill would make amendments to an existing 2012 law that regulates the sale of violent games to minors, and expand it to outright ban the sale of violent video games altogether.
House Bill 3531 defines ?violent video games? as any game that ?allows a user or player to control a character within the video game that is encouraged to perpetuate human-on-human violence in which the player kills or otherwise causes serious physical or psychological harm to another human or an animal.? They also want to amend the ?serious physical harm? terminology to include carjacking, ?among other things,? Polygon reports.
