No link between violent games, anti-social behaviour: research

Study finds that there is no direct link between games and anti-social behaviour

Just what we all say after every shooting story in merica.

So I am naturally anti-social

If anything - lately, games have been promoting socialising in-game.

Co-op and Multi-player - to name a few.

Yep and every other study says the opposite of what a previous one said. It's an infinite loop.

"The point is is that none of these gaming studies are conclusive evidence and a sound theory."

None of it is conclusive evidence but then again attributing blame solely on violent video games is the same thing, just from the other side of the fence.

There is no one cause or factor when someone loses their minds and takes it out on the closest populated area. Many factors have to be considered when some psychopath decides to go for the high score. Violence has been around a lot longer than video games have. Removing them won't change the fact that anti social behaviour will still exist. I think that video says it best, chase the next "problem" except the problem itself.
