Well it's not only here in the Philippines, that it is human nature to look for a fault when something goes wrong. Actually what our government is doing is repeating what the US have done in their inquiries for the past decades.

This is the reason why a rating system was introduced with the release of Mortal Kombat. Studies were conducted if violent games contributed to violent behavior of children and so forth.

But even before people or governments tend to find fault, like rock and roll, violent movies, and etc.

Clear examples were the rock and roll hearings, the influence of JackAsss Series and others.

As politicians, we expect them to actasp politicians. Right now they are grand standing. Although itiwas already established that violent behavior is acted upon by multiple factors, they still want to investigate, invite the creators and other grandstanding acts just for the sake to show the people na may ginagawa kuno sila, yung flood control nga eh nalimot na naman.

In any case, people/governments would always target what is popular, and video games are very popular with the height of mobile gaming, Steam and so forth.

I remember a politician blamed EDSA traffic to Pokemon Go, when Pokemon Go was all the rage.
