I am fully candid in saying that 'Playing Columbine' makes no attempt to be 'objective' and remain neutral; it has arguments to make and while it includes counter-arguments, the film (much like the game) has a perspective and a thesis to convey...

There is ultimately no way to "justify" SCMRPG in the minds of those who find it deplorable but I believe even the game's detractors will find that the film fleshes out the controversy to better understand the future of games as a medium. The film is essentially a challenge to game developers to rethink the limits of their medium and a challenge to the general public to expect (demand!) more from games than mere entertainment...

No one really knows where games are headed; indeed there are so many potential directions that it may soon be superfluous to attempt to call all these diverse creations "videogames" whatsoever.
