We're in the age of scientific studies. That is to say, I feel like nowadays, you can always find some study to prove a point or make you feel better about yourself. It just seems to happen all the time that I see a friend of mine sharing crap like "study shows that people who constantly marathon series tend to be more intelligent" or "study claims that eating loads of meat makes you healthier", and usually you can also find a study that proves the opposite. It's all just a load of bollocks, honestly.

Videogames sure make people more violent, though. Just like rock did.

We've been in the age of junk science for... decades.

Studies are conducted by people, people need funding for studies, people have ideologies.

People are parents who buy games for their children that they shouldn't be playing. People blame the games.

 

I can attest that I used to rage pretty hard when I was younger. I was just a kid playing games people bought me. I have a son. He's getting a switch.
