    Conventional wisdom suggests there’s got to be a connection between violent games and violence. Not so fast.https://usat.ly/2Ca5IL7

        85 million copies of GTA has sold. I don't think there's a connection.

        Blame games, blame the movies but never blame the easy accessibility of assault weapons. Many people play games but never commit a violent act. Quit finding a scapegoat and address the actual problem in a logical fashion.

        If playing violent video games was linked to violent crimes this would be reflected in violent crime statistics around the world but this is not the case.

        There hasn't been a connection except that those games actually make you less violent. They gave up this argument 10 years ago. I can't believe they're setting up this straw man again.

        Sadly there is no one thing to blame for the violence. There are a lot of factors and the fix will not be easy or quick. But we need to start looking and working on fixes.

        ALL of these people were on drugs where one side effect was psychotic behavior, & yet the fact they were on these drugs and mentally unstable isn't the issue, & the fact our government doesn't have better forms/test/background checks of purchasing weapons isn't either, but ban🤨

        Those critics have never enjoyed the catharsis of blowing away a bunch of zombies on a long, dark winter's eve. Gaming is neuro, psych and social healthy. Fighter pilots to micro-surgeons, those who train on games out perform those who do not.
