Violent Video Games Have Been Apart Of American Culture

Video games have been apart of American families ever since their introduction to society. Video games have gone from big boxes and low quality screening, to small boxes that are able to transport the player into the game. They have many purposes, and their main one is to entertain the people. However, many forget about those who are responsible for the creation and/or distribution of video games. And it doesn’t even stop at that, these industries and locations, are also responsible for allowing fellow gamers to bond, and allow families to have quality time together. Ever since the introduction of pong in 1958, video games have begun to flourish and evolve as time passes by. People like Ralph Baer, who engineered a way to play video games

However, even with the major drought of video games, their were arcade cabins that saved the gaming industry, it played the role of keeping the gaming industry alived by uniting people.
