I doubt anyone expects conservative pundit Glenn Beck to say anything particularly insightful about 
games, judging by the ignorant comments he’s made about the industry in the past. But listening to him talk about Watch Dogs is kind of funny, since he’s convinced it’ll teach kids how to hack into his iPad.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); To be fair, Watch Dog’s entire shtick romanticizes the coolness of hacking. But it definitely doesn’t teach you Y1 com anything concrete on 
how to hack, just like a first-person shooter isn’t really capable of teaching you how to shoot a gun in real life. Not that that stops Beck 
from linking real-world violence to video games at the start of this clip.
The entire thing has a ton of classic “video game scare piece” elements, meaning it ties complicated real-world tragedies/issues to video games because that’s the easy thing to do. There is no mention of how issues of security and privacy are big right now, post-Snowden and NSA leaks—so of course it was a matter of Y1 apk times before games tried to tackle the y1 game subject. If anything, games almost feel late to it all! “What are we thinking? We’re inviting this into our home,” he fearmongers, right before comparing video games to crack cocaine. Sigh!
You can see him talk about Watch Dogs specifically around the 3:58 mark, if you’re short on time.
