Why do you think so many computer games are based on extreme violence? Do you think it is healthy or unhealthy? The questions are simple, but the answers are highly complex as they are subject to the personal criteria of each individual. It is my sincere wish to express my opinion regarding these questions from the most objective point of view possible, although I must confess that I have a high degree of affinity with video games, but at the same time not as much affinity with the category of violent.
¿Por qué crees que tantos juegos de computadora se basan en la violencia extrema? ¿Crees que es saludable o no saludable? Las preguntas son simples, pero las respuestas si poseen gran complejidad al ir sujetas al criterio personal de cada individuo. Es mi más sincero deseo expresar mi opinión respecto a estas interrogantes desde el punto de vista más objetivo posible, aunque he de confesar que poseo alto grado de afinidad con los videojuegos, pero a su vez no tanta afinidad con la categoría de violentos.

The first factor we must consider is the fact that violence of any origin (reality, fantasy or cartoon) in video games it has always been synonymous with MONEY for companies, therefore, it would be logical to think that this is not going to change and therefore, the content of new videogames will be equal to or more violent than their predecessors; Few video game companies really think about healthy entertainment for their users, while most only ask this question, what can we do to sell more?
El primer factor que debemos considerar es el hecho de que la violencia de cualquier origen (realidad, fantasía o caricatura) en los videojuegos siempre ha sido sinónimo de DINERO para las compañías, por tal sentido, sería logico pensar que esto no va a cambiar y por tanto, el contenido de los nuevos videojuegos será igual o más violento que sus predecesores; pocas compañías de videojuegos piensan realmente en el entretenimiento sano de sus usuarios, mientras que, la mayoría solo se hacen esta pregunta ¿qué podemos hacer para vender más?

Considering that this style of games are healthy or not for people is something subjective, at my own discretion and from my experience as a gamer I must say that it is not healthy in many cases, because in My particular case affected my emotions at the moment, this was due to the degree of frustration I felt when dying in the game, all this added to the atmosphere of tension (music, settings and graphics each more realistic) generated by the game, create an emotional charge that I consider is not healthy for anyone.
Considerar que este estilo de juegos sean saludables o no para las personas es algo subjetivo, a criterio propio y por mi experiencia como videojugador debo decir que no es saludable en muchos casos, debido a que en mi caso particular afectaba mis emociones de momento, esto se debía al grado de frustración que sentía al momento de morir en el juego, todo ello sumado al ambiente de tensión (música, escenarios y gráficos cada vez más realistas) que genera el juego, crean una carga emocional que considero no es nada saludable para ninguna persona.

To finish I want to refer to a film by the famous Director Steven Spielberg , Ready Player One which is set in the year 2045 and we situates in a world where the virtual reality of a game has more value than reality itself.
Para finalizar quiero hacer referencia a una película del afamado Director Steven Spielberg, Ready Player One la cual se ambienta el año 2045 y nos situa en un mundo donde posee más valor la realidad virtual de un juego, que la propia realidad.

I really wonder; Will we get to that? I hope not, I hope we can live in a world where our choice of entertainment can really bring us ENTERTAINMENT, not frustrations and anger.
Realmente me pregunto; ¿Llegaremos a eso? espero que no, espero podamos vivir en un mundo donde nuestra elección de entretenimiento nos pueda brindar realmente ENTRETENIMIENTO, no frustraciones y enojos.
