    I've been playing games since I was like 5 (and my parent's didn't care too much for age restrictions) and most people who know me would agree I do not have an aggressive bone in my body. Maybe the study is true though and one day I'll just flip and go mad

    You are the exact type of person they would feast on in the media regarding this

    That I think has more to do with people being unhealthily competitive (which I feel causes the aggression) and not so much the fact that it is a videogame.

    TL;DR - bring back parents that smack their kids when they throw tantrums at age 4. Problem solved.
