Hi there my Giant Bomb duders!

For my "Contemporary & Pervasive Issues" assignment on my Business degree I am doing some research into the ethical behaviour of the major companies in the video game industry.

Please take 5 minutes to help me out by completing this short survey!

@JosephBarron: I guess you haven't heard of 'random sample' before... If you ask gamers on a videogame website to take a survey, then their answers are going to be pretty damn similar.
 
Also, some of  these questions are pretty bad, elaborate on 'socially responsible' because that makes no sense.
 
And hahaha, because someone is going to decide on which console to buy based on economic impact, that question is insane.

Fox News and blaming stuff on video games are inseparable. I wasn't able to think of any positive press.

Consider it done. It was a pretty good survey too, I would have done a longer one if I had to.

Placing the survey link here is only one element of my research. I'm not daft enough to rely on one group of people. 
 
I'm using jargon like "socially responsible" so that I'm using the same phrases that the mainstream press use to talk about video games. That way, I should be able to gain some understanding of whether or not they've been able to influence the general public's opinion of the issue. The fact that you've questioned the term, immediately tells me that they haven't had a major influence on your opinions.

I finished your survey but I just realized you might only want people from USA to answer it? :P Because, for example, where I live we don't have Fox News.

It doesn't really matter much.  Just insert random huge news conglomerate and it'll probably work.  Fox News is pretty much the internet's popular scapegoat for the practices of many organizations that don't know too much about an issue.

I think what country are you from is an important question, cos yo it's the internet. And asking if you are hardcore or casual is a bit like asking are you red team or blue team?

i did it where's my prize? 
 
 
was pretty amazed by the fact that i couldn't think of any positive reviews on gaming (i didnt count stuff like giantbomb, thats just gamer specific, of course it's postive) but directly found several examples of negative news about it in popular media (schoolshootings "due to FPSs", mmo-addiction, etc)

I will not stoop to your rather sad level by calling you a name. Still I will try to respond to your pathetic attempt at trolling.
 
Giantbomb is not a legitimate news outlet and the survey was clearly not referring to gaming sites, but "real media".
The fact that you were unable to deduce this simple truth from the context leads me to believe that you are not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. As such, writing this reply was probably a waste of my time.
 
Oh well, better luck with your trolling next time. Do try harder.

Recently had to do some stuff like this myself, except I had to ask people. It's incredible how many people instantly assume you're selling them something.
However I've filled it out =)
