[align=center][/align]Personally I think it is a pretty crap article. The guy who wrote it seems to be frothing at the mouth and is going off on some rant. In fact, it is difficult to actually extract from his article that the issue is about censorship in games ie violence/sex/crime/etc.
I haven't been able to find Tanya Byron's report yet, not sure if it is publicly available, but I don't see why computer games will be treated any different than any other media censorship. Just because someone grew up playing pacman and pong they will now feel that it is ok to make games full of high quality realistic violence and sexual content available in mainstream shops to children?
The whole article sounds like some 10 year old rubbing the Tanya Byron report in the government's face and going, "Naaa, naaaa, naaam, naaa". Pretty childish and not really helping the cause at all.
EDIT: Seems like the Tanya Byron report can be found here.
