Public opinion on computer games

The end of 2012 criticized Siegismund post publicly the ZDF - TV magazine Frontal21 of 11 December 2012 in several videos he hochlud on YouTube. The focus of his criticism is that concerning the contribution many false information was free-2-play - MMOs were used as true and researched facts. Many statements were based on half-truths.

Siegismund's contribution to the Frontal21 report led to an almost six-month discussion between Pfeiffer and Siegismund and his community, which later deviated from the actual topic and in which both sides insulted each other.

On October 31, 2013 Siegismund was a guest in the talk show Talk in Hangar-7, broadcast on ServusTV, on the subject of Attack from the Apparent World - How Dangerous Are Computer Games?

“If you just watch a game, treat it like a movie. But now this medium lives from interactivity. "
