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.

Did you forget that there are girls here?

No, I just think that my freedom of speech superceeds your sense of entitlement based on biology.

When you call someone a "dick" do you say so in a positive way?

I don't see where you're going with that.

Pretty obvious as people who commit crime don't need something like video games to make them violent. They are already fucked

Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

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.

I really don't care about the test or the results. What I see is the same articles popping up that first say it's not linked then someone else later says it is. Back and forth nonsense. Decide one way and end the articles.
