A federal court yesterday refused to
reinstate a $33million lawsuit that was trying to pin the blame for a high school
shooting spree on videogames and movies. This is the latest in a series of victories for
the videogame industry which has certainly come under some heavy scrutiny in the past few
years. id Software specifically was represented in this case as they defended Quake, Doom,
and Castle Wolfenstein.
''We find that it is simply too far a leap from shooting characters on a video screen (an activity undertaken by millions) to shooting people in a classroom (an activity undertaken by a handful, at most),'' Judge Danny Boggs said in the ruling.
