A culpa é dos jogos? Uma reportagem multimídia sobre o impacto dos videogames na vida de quem joga

Abstract

The project investigates the relationship between electronic games and behavior based on three main axes: the historical contextualization of video games through the Itinerant Video Game Museum, the debate with Psychology specialists, and the listening to players with different experiences. The report was structured into a prologue and four chapters, integrating text, audio, video, images, data, cards, a timeline, a glossary, and interactive resources. The development process involved journalistic research, interviews, bibliographic review, audiovisual material editing, visual identity design, and the use of digital tools, including Figma Make, Adobe Firefly, Gemini, Adobe Podcast, CapCut, GitHub, and ChatGPT in specific technical stages. The result demonstrates that the discussion about electronic games cannot be reduced to a direct cause-and-effect relationship between video games and violence. The investigation points to the need to consider social context, personality, risk and protective factors, screen time, forms of consumption, family environment, mental health, and the individual experiences of players.
