One particular area that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/opinion\/493536\/luigi-mangione-among-us-news\">media has latched onto<\/a> is Mangione\u2019s online presence and gaming history. Mangione did, after all, work on popular strategy game <em>Civilization 6<\/em> as an intern at Firaxis Games, where he quashed more than 300 bugs, according to his LinkedIn page. (A Firaxis Games representative confirmed to Polygon that Mangione was a former intern.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Elsewhere online, Mangione\u2019s gaming history can be traced back to high school and college. In high school, <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20150603063818\/http:\/\/bytesizedtech.net\/2015\/05\/pivot-plane-review-paper-airplane-for-the-21st-century\/\">he and a few others created a game called <em>Pivot Plane<\/em><\/a> under a studio called AppRoar; the game was sold on the iOS app store. At the University of Pennsylvania, Mangione helped form a game development club for students called University of Pennsylvania Game Research and Development Environment, or UPGRADE. Mangione was the project leader for a game named <em>College Simulator<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/pennupgrade.wordpress.com\/college-simulator\/\">which is described on the UPGRADE blog<\/a> as \u201ca brutally difficult tongue-in-cheek management roguelike capturing this attempt to find balance in college.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Among Us does not teach you to be an assassin. <\/p>\n<p>Exhibit A: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/raHwzQ0R3y\">https:\/\/t.co\/raHwzQ0R3y<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Exhibit B: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pfxzu6c2Ig\">https:\/\/t.co\/pfxzu6c2Ig<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Exhibit C: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LvF8VKUguR\">https:\/\/t.co\/LvF8VKUguR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Exhibit D: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ulMlSSmdWa\">https:\/\/t.co\/ulMlSSmdWa<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ERfGEftCdw\">pic.twitter.com\/ERfGEftCdw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Dr. Rachel Kowert (@DrKowert) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DrKowert\/status\/1866496066083782926?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 10, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Late Monday night, NBC news published a report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/ironic-suspect-unitedhealthcare-slaying-played-video-game-killer-rcna183550\">that linked Mangione to the social deduction game<\/a> <em>Among Us<\/em>, categorizing the activity as \u201cplay[ing] assassins.\u201d \u201c\u2018Suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO slaying played video game killer, friend recalls,\u2019 reads the headline. The story doesn\u2019t explicitly blame video games like <em>Among Us<\/em> for Mangione\u2019s behavior, but the connection implies there\u2019s some sort of relevance to the CEO shooting. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">In reality, Mangione\u2019s video game history is actually very unremarkable. In November 2020 alone, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2020\/12\/22\/22196330\/among-us-half-billion-players-november\">almost half a billion people played <em>Among Us<\/em><\/a>. The game does indeed assign one person the marker of imposter, tasking them with quietly taking out the other players and trying to blend in with the rest of the group. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">&nbsp;\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/record\/2013-43946-001\">We have been studying the uses and effects of games<\/a>, with a strong focus on violent games, for decades,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IESsWK8AYo0\">research psychologist Dr. Rachel Kowert<\/a> told Polygon. \u201cThere are no links between violent video games and violent behavior. In fact, when you take into account demographic factors (such as age, previous exposure to violence, frustration tolerance) media effects fail to show any demonstrable impact on behavior at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Among Us<\/em> developer Innersloth has declined to comment. On Dec. 10, however, the official X account <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/amongus.innersloth.com\/post\/3lcxvjklzn22n\">simply posted \u201cum.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The rest of Mangione\u2019s gaming history, as seen on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/healthcare-ceo-shooting-suspect-luigi-mangione-has-connections-to-the-videogame-industry\/\">a Steam profile purported to be his<\/a>, is also quite ordinary: The account lists hundreds of hours played in games like <em>PUBG: Battlegrounds<\/em>, <em>Terraria<\/em>, <em>Rocket League<\/em>, <em>Civilization 6<\/em>, <em>Stardew Valley<\/em>, and others. The account also lists eight hours played of <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/507010\/MrPresident\/\"><em>Mr.President!<\/em><\/a>, a game where the objective is to stop assassination attempts on presidents. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/luigi-mangione-arrested-uhc-shooting\/\">On an Xbox account tied to Mangione by Wired<\/a>, it\u2019s the same: a variety of popular games.\u00a0Mangione also posted frequently on Reddit, specifically the<em> Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em> subreddit,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/10\/nyregion\/luigi-mangione-health-issues-reddit.html\"> where the New York Times says he posted<\/a> \u201centhusiastically\u201d about the mobile game. He has a third generation Pok\u00e9mon, Breloom, displayed on his X profile banner,<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/esjesjesj\/status\/1866195855562138003?\"> side-by-side with an X-ray and a photo of himself<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">We looked closer at the games made by Mangione, too, like <em>Pivot Plane<\/em>. In a review published in 2015, Kevin Steinike said he was approached by three high school students to review <em>Pivot Plane<\/em>, which he described as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20150603063818\/http:\/\/bytesizedtech.net\/2015\/05\/pivot-plane-review-paper-airplane-for-the-21st-century\/\">sideways <em>Flappy Bird<\/em><\/a>, but easier, and with an airplane and not a bird.\u201d It\u2019s basic, but fun, he said. The game is no longer available online, but a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/produktfang\/status\/591570573706289153\">screenshot on social media<\/a> shows its simplicity: A paper airplane appears to be gliding downward through a bevy of platforms, with the score of 69 on the screen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>College Simulator<\/em>, the aforementioned \u201ctongue-in-cheek management roguelike\u201d has a description on the UPGRADE website:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-none is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Players will constantly have to make decisions such as, \u201cShould I stay up late tonight hanging out with my friends?\u201d Even such a small decision could have far-reaching consequences. Relaxing with friends might offer the player a much-needed break and strengthen their friendships, leading to future social opportunities. At the same time, however, the decision might leave them tired the next day, causing them to fall behind in class or increasing their likelihood of getting sick.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">None of this points to whether Mangione was a violent person, explains his motives, or paints a picture of whether his alleged actions were right or wrong. Games and gaming are, indeed, a reflection of wider society and deserve to be scrutinized as such \u2014 including the medium\u2019s use of violence. But it must be considered in a more thorough, thoughtful way that contextualizes reality. Better clues about Mangione\u2019s alleged involvement may be found in his chronic back pain that led to spinal surgery, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/12\/09\/us\/luigi-mangione-what-we-know-monday\/index.html\">reported by CNN<\/a>, or a reported manifesto that expresses \u201cill will towards corporate America,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/12\/09\/us\/unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian-thompson-shooter-monday\">which has not been published in full by police or press<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cHumans are inherently lazy thinkers,\u201d Kowert said. \u201cWe want easy solutions to complex problems and scapegoating media has been a common means to that end. We\u2019ve seen it with radio, television, movies, and video games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><strong>Update: <\/strong>We\u2019ve updated this story to add details about Mangione\u2019s interest in Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/analysis\/493834\/uhc-ceo-shooting-suspect-gaming-habits-among-us\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Police arrested 26-year-old Luigi Mangione at a McDonald\u2019s in Pennsylvania on Monday and later charged him with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
