Update on the research... OF DOOM!

a. My final thesis |||| Video games have changed the world for the better, allowing players to meet new people and do activities they would never be able to do, some extremely controversial, thus creating an entire economic system inside and outside of the game.
b. the necessary steps in your arguments |||| I will first have to identify video games so the reader can relate as to why they are selling so well. The fact that games like Grand Theft Auto are selling so well is the other topic for controversy. Why the media yearns for such games is also a topic for discussion.
c. the type of sources you are looking at |||| Books and the such. Mostly sources that have to do with the benefits of video games on society and the economy.
d. My favorite source is the article by Madison, Mike. entitled "Are video games good for you?" when he makes a comparison with videogames to books regarding WHEN they were released. If games had come out first, BOOKS would be the ones with all of the criticism and controversy around them.
e. one interesting fact or thing you learned about your topic: |||| The game Halo 2 sold 2.4 million copies and earned up to 125 million US dollars in its first 24 hours on store shelves, thus out-grossing the film Pirates of the Carribean as the highest grossing release in entertainment history.
