When kids commit heinous crimes, which is responsible? The makers of every video game they’ve ever played, of course. In 2001, Linda Sanders and other family members of Columbine High School shooting victims sued 2 5 movie and video game companies for $5 billion, in a class action lawsuit. They claimed that were it not for movies including The Basketball Diaries and videos games including Doom, Duke Nuke, Quake, Mortal Combat, Resident Evil, Mach Warrior, Wildenstein, Redneck Rampage, Final Fantasy, and Nightmare Creatures, the massacre would not have occurred, and that the makers and distributors of the movies and games were partly to blame for their loved ones’ deaths. The case was thrown out and the plaintiffs were ordered to compensate the video game and movie companies for their legal fees.
