Are lottery sales and gambling increasing with bad economy? - (USA)
As economic woes continue, gambling problems worsen. Just a generation ago, most people with gambling problems were men. While that remains true today, the number of women addicted to gaming has grown in leaps and bounds. And as a result, many women turn to crime to feed their habit. KEITH WHYTE, head of the National Council on Problem Gambling, says, quote, “There’s a societal shift. Women didn’t used to do this.

N4G And Destructoid Users Dont Mind Raping Women In Games - (USA)
This is not a headline spinning or an editorial. Its news. Unfortunate news for the gaming audience but news, nonetheless. Recently on the news aggregation site, N4G (which stands for News 4 Gamers) an article was submitted via Destructoid about a Japanese company changing the genre of their rape simulators from rape simulator to platinum games. The change comes in an effort to try to boost sales and tone down on the “offensive” nature that “rape simulator” infers. I don’t believe there is anyw
