Brazil banned this week role playing games "Counter-Strike" and "EverQuest," saying that they "INCITE VIOLENCE" and harm the health of players.

Alex said...: Playing the game wasn't banned, only the future purchases of it. All lanhouses will make a choice to whether make it available or not. But still, it's stupid.; Saturday, January 19, 2008 3:28:00 PM

i'm from brazil, and i dun like to play CS, i prefer other type of games, But the problem isnt especially with CS, a lot of another things induce the human and improve the abilities, like tv programs, films and games too.

All ppl arround the world keep instincts inside their hearths/mind and you can manifest these instinct using drugs or watching some films, tv programs, the news...somethings like these...

the only alternative that PROCON think that can GAIN something is processing game developments, but the real problem is: Young ppl (12~17 years) leaving out the school to play games in lanhouses.

;)
South Park made a episodie talking about this using the WORLD OF WARCRAFT.

PS: Probably the Director of PROCON and some ppl that works there have problems with their childrens and pc games, and think that they think that with the power of their jobs can resolve then home problems.
