The national endowment for the arts doesn't fund ping-pong players because the ping pong players that deserve recognition get recognition and funding from corporations.

The grants are for making educational games. And yet they pick an example like CoD from which to frame the argument. Fox is just spin, baby, spin.

Kids love video games. Sorry, bald man. Video games that can teach is a good idea. I learned tons of historical leaders names, landmarks, places, vocabulary and grammar from Civilization II, as well as planning, and other important skills.

so why is making an educational game or any game for that matter, the respnsibility of the Government.

if there is need and demand for the game it will get funding, privately. government needs to stop giving out money to everything and everyone.

if it cant survive without government assistance its not worth keeping alive

At a certain point, when there are no longer any social programs, the people that stand to succeed are the ones who are related to successful people, whether those people are talented or not. Programs like these breed competition.

FYI the internet was developed by the gob'ment.
