It won't lead to crimes sure, but they do lead to aggressiveness.

So does any competitive activity whatosever, from soccer to kickball.  It also fades very quickly after the actively or game stops, as well, as the production of adrenaline comes to a halt.

We gamers find ourselves on the side of science! Huzzah!

This should go some way in clearing misconceptions.

I'm sorry, but this is really giving me a headache.

How many studies does there have to be to enforce the idea that VIDEO GAMES DON'T LEAD TO VIOLENCE?



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

"Finding that a young man who committed a violent crime also played a popular video game, such as Call of Duty, Halo, or Grand Theft Auto, is as pointless as pointing out that the criminal also wore socks"

Ban the socks!

Well there are many studies that prove the opposite is true as well.

So when's the next article that say it does. Seriously how many times have these test been done. They say the same shit over and over again.

This test?  Analyzing trends and correlating it to violent video-game release dates?  I've never seen it done before.

Yeah I've never seen a such a detailed study before either, that's why I thought it was interesting to post.

So video games actually pacify people? That is horrible! If the trend continues, we'll be a world of pussies who won't even steal granny's purses anymore.
