Quote by Holly Black

People said that video games were bad because they made you numb to death, made you register entrails splattering across a screen as a sign of success. In that moment, Val thought that the real problem with games was that the player was suppossed to try everything. If there was a cave, you went in it. If there was a mysterious stranger, you talked to him. If there was a map, you followed it. But in games, you had a hundred million billion lives and Val only had this one.

People said that video games were bad because they made you

Summary

This quote explores the perspective that the criticism of video games causing desensitization towards violence is misguided. Instead, it suggests that the true issue lies in the unlimited possibilities within games. While gamers are encouraged to explore caves, engage with intriguing characters, and follow maps, Val realizes that in reality, they only have one life to live. This highlights the contrast between the freedom and multiple chances in video games and the limitations and consequences of our own existence.
