If everybody who played CoD would be a mass murderer we'd have a serious problem. This personality shift won't make a person confuse real life with games. Causing violence in a video game isn't the same as causing violence in real life either. Death in games doesn't have consequences, but in RL it does and people are usually aware about that. This obviously doesn't apply to everybody but I think that's how it usually is. |
Yep the media is generally a bunch of idiots I agree with that. They like to include excerpts about a mass murderer playing video games even if he is a schizophrenic to begin with. The Video Game vs Real Life thing is why I included a study on the effects of realism vs desensitization in real life. You are right; we can't paint all with the same brush
