PAX East is a celebration of gaming culture, but the aftermath of the tragedy in Newtown, Conn., last year is reverberating at this year's event.
Local developers Dan Higgins and Courtney Pinnell of Lunchtime Studios in Holliston are developing a poker adventure game called "Lords of New York" that takes place during the Prohibition Era, but they are also parents of an 8-year-old boy.
"For almost all people, shooting up a few things in a game actually works to vent frustration and doesn't turn them into mass shooters," Pinnell told the Herald. "Those few who are prone to violence would do it whether or not they play games. They used to say the same thing about Wile E. Coyote cartoons when I was growing up."
"In our game, we're doing the drama of the era without the graphic violence," Higgins added. "And my son's experience with video games has piqued more of an interest in learning about things than shooting them."
"We're an industry that loves research and welcome it," said Monty Sharma, managing director of the Massachusetts Digital Games Institute. "But as of now, no data showing a causal relationship between video gaming and violence has emerged."
