At the beginning of the program, a video material was played.

The title below reads: "Grand Theft Auto, is it a masterpiece in the gaming industry, or a violent game that abets crime?" ”

In the screen, many GTA-related news materials, real-time discussions, screenshots of online speeches, game materials, etc., appear one after another.

"GTA has attracted attention since its early release, and so far it can be said that it has swept the global game market, with sales climbing to millions, and it has been slaughtered on live streaming and video sites around the world. Just last week, TGN, the world's most well-known authoritative game media, gave Grand Theft Auto a perfect score, and described the game's historical status as 'masterpiece', 'pinnacle', and 'legend'. ”

But correspondingly, the violent and criminal content shown in the game has also caused controversy around the world. Some experts, scholars and Internet opinion leaders believe that this game is instigating crimes, and there are suspicions of disrespecting women, cruelty to animals, and stigmatizing some professions. ”

"No other game in gaming history has brought as much controversy as Grand Theft Auto, and with next-gen VR, the game is becoming the most influential game in the world. According to statistics, although the number of players of this game is less than 10 million, the number of players watching game content through live streaming sites and video sites may reach more than 1 billion worldwide. Although under the rating system, these audiences can almost all be assumed to be adults, such a huge influence still makes people worry. ”

"Is Grand Theft Auto demonized?"

"Will it be pure entertainment for players, or will it have a bad effect?"

"If the game has a negative social impact, who is responsible?"

"Today's Current Affairs Debate" invited Mr. Chen Mo, the designer of "Grand Theft Auto" and the president of Thunder Interactive Entertainment, as well as experts and scholars who raised many objections to this game, today's topic: Is "Grand Theft Auto" a cultural crystallization or a spiritual poison?

After a burst of cool lights, in the midst of the warm applause from the audience, the spotlight hit the host's face.

The host Hu Yue, as one of the famous male hosts in China, has good facial features, clear logic, and fast speech. The program "Today's Current Affairs Debate" can not deviate seriously in the fierce debate, and the host's skill can be seen.

"Discuss today's current affairs and pay attention to the society and people's livelihood. Hello everyone, I am the host of "Today's Current Affairs Debate", Hu Yue. Before the show starts, I would like to ask the audience in front of the TV and computer screens a question: what kind of entertainment will you choose for the evening after this episode is over? Do you watch TV, read a book, or play a 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 GTA. As mentioned in the previous video materials, it is indeed popular all over the world now, but it is also scolded all over the world, and people are criticizing him everywhere in the world. ”

As soon as Hu Yue raised his hand, the camera was given to the guest next to him.

Professor Xu, director of the Quality Education Research Center of a certain normal university, has gray hair and looks about 60 years old, but he is in good spirits and looks full of combat effectiveness: "Of course it is. I'm not the only one who thinks so, in fact, research centers in some countries in Europe and the United States have come to similar conclusions that long-term use of violent games will cause damage to the left side of the brain, and this symptom is exactly the same as the symptoms caused by some drugs. ”

Hu Yue took over the conversation: "When many players hear Professor Xu's point of view, they will think, is this statement too serious? But I have to say that there is indeed this kind of criticism of violence in the world, so Brother Zhibin, what do you think? ”

The camera was given to another male guest, ******, about 30 years old, with the title of "senior media person" Zhang Zhibin.

"I think the term poison is excessive, if it is poison in Professor Xu's eyes, then in my eyes it is a carbonated drink at best. On the surface, we see that a lot of media are criticizing, as if the whole people are condemning, but in fact, there are many players who support GTA on the Internet. Why is it said that carbonated drinks, if you drink too much, drink water every day, it will definitely cause diabetes, but drink a little less to enjoy the body and mind. ”

Professor Xu immediately said, "But does drinking drinks make people sin?" However, the violent factors presented in the game will really affect people's behavior and even play an instigating role. ”

Zhang Zhibin smiled: "But many of us here grew up playing games, especially at my age, but I didn't commit crimes." ”

Professor Xu waved his hand again and again: "You have not committed a crime, but it does not mean that other people have the same self-control ability as you, and it does not mean that the negative impact of the game on everyone is the same." ”

Hu Yue hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, let's not discuss the connection now, but just talk about the impact of the game itself. Brother Mu Gang, Brother Baiyou, what do you two think? ”

The screen shifted to two other guests, one with the title of "well-known blogger" Yuan Mugang, and the other with the title of "Wolf Dad" Chen Baiyou, the former looked like he was in his fifties, and the latter was in his early forties.

The "well-known blogger" Yuan Mugang said: "I used to play games, computer games, for a month or two, ten hours a day. Finally, I have a herniated disc in my lumbar spine now, and I have to do it twice a year because of playing games. Then in the last few years, I played the game control, and my herniated disc never turned over again. ”

Another "wolf father" Chen Baiyou said: "I have always emphasized in educating children that if you want to become the winner of this society, you must put an end to all games, and anyone who indulges in games is a loser, because you have no ability to resist this temptation." But after all, parents like me are in the minority, what should parents who are very busy with work and have a lot of things to do? They can only accept the poison and temptation of play for children. ”

Hu Yue nodded: "Okay, most of our guests have already expressed their opinions, and then we will ask Mr. Chen Mo, the designer of the game "Grand Theft Auto", to express his opinions." Let me explain to you in advance, on the surface, it seems that the scene is two to three, which seems to be unfair, but in fact, this is Mr. Chen Mo's own request, so what do you think about this matter? ”
