I've always been extremely skeptical about the effects of violent games mainly out of personal experience. However, knowing that this particular researcher is merely positing violent games as contributing to rather than causing violent behaviour makes much more sense. It's always been framed in the terms of a zero-sum game so it's nice to see some balance.Pyroph - Fantastic work getting this interview. Just read the article and it’s really made me think.

Though if there was anything I'd take away from it it would be 'raters aren't scientists', which is something Sterling's talked about before in regards to not knowing who the hell the ratings board people are. Damn Pyroph, that’s some journalisms!

Wait, sorry, wrong guy. Though if there was anything I’d take away from it it would be ‘raters aren’t scientists’, which is something Sterling’s talked about before in regards to not knowing who the hell the ratings board people are.
