I agree with the general premise of the article.

However, I do find it somewhat ironic and amusing that the "gaming press" espouses this stance while also arguing that Steam's recent announcement of having minimal content-based filtering on Valve's end is a dereliction of duty.

By arguing that position, Kotaku makes the argument that games do have an effect on people, so it should be moderated by Valve. Yet, the article linked in this post is saying that criticisms from outside the gaming community regarding the effect games have on people is wrong.
