VOICEOVER
The goal of this documentary was to
inform to debunk the moral panic
created by the news outlet of
videogame causing violence. In simple
there is no direct connection to
videogame causing violence however it
is still speculated. Instead the final
act of the show will hopefully
convince you that videogame can be a
cause of friendship and a strong
community. This has happened however
the news do not highlight it which I
hope will change your mind, that a
videogame community can come together.
As in the clip about to show you the
context is after the passing of a
twitch streamer with a large
following, who was known for being
extremely talented in a game called
World of Warcraft had committed
suicide, The clip you are about to be
shown is a close friend of his also a
streamer who broadcasts the memorial
in the videogame which was held by the
players.
