A proposed bill to impose a one per cent tax on violent video games in the US state of Oklahoma has failed to become to law.

The bill would have created a one percent tax on violent video games, with the proceeds used to “fight childhood obesity and bullying.” It died in a subcommittee hearing when lawmakers failed to establish any directly causal relationship between such games and childhood issues like obesity and bullying.
