Says who? Why can't we give names of these "Top Neuroscientists" that are so trustworthy and so educated in their field and let us see for ourselves how smart they are? What other Einstein level revelations have they made in the field of neuroscience? Could it be that they're full of shit?
I'm suddenly reminded of that white house video.
Quite frankly I'm concerned it'll gain traction.
The good old "Pictures of guns on a screen are more dangerous then actual real guns in real life" claim. Classic.
By that logic, we should ban football and sports of the sort, since those actually can start fucking riots.
By that logic we should delete Faux News first, because their misinformation network and fear-mongering indirectly caused more deaths than video games ever will.
The Waifu Wars were dark times.
They dont care about the context, if they hear the word videogame theyll automatically assume its call of battlefield kombat bloodbath edition played by 12 year olds
or theyre aware of the context but they dont want to bring it up because its easier to shift blames
Messed up for a “news” channel either way

Watch out, I'm going to shoot you with my AK47 here.

It'll be the day that Fox News starts to argue that the victim's waifu was obviously a democrat so he deserved it.

Games absolutely need to be regulated.
For example, I was playing Counter-Strike the other day and this 10 year old told me to "get a wheel gun!"
A "wheel gun"?? Hes 10 years old and hes already talking about drive-bys!
People join together to enjoy a nice game of scrabble
A deranged person, who hates scrabble and people who play it ever since he lost a game of it - breaks in with a weapon and attacks the people playing scrabble
Scrabble should be banned nation-wide

Top neurologists claim the words and letters causes the brain to rewire itself and cause violent behaviors
I think it would be interesting to see like, an actual study about the neurology of video games. It's a shame everyone has an agenda.
Blood Bowl 2.
fox, the bastion of free speech and no restrictions calling for restrictions on liberal free speech.
I played Mario once and I keep throwing matches at turtles wtf
You joke, but I bet there's one guy out there that, to this day, feels fucking terrible because he jumped on a turtle once as a kid because of SMB.
if any well founded study says that games are not linked to violence, how can we even trust a news source that goes against expert advice?
better ban everything but the guns to solve gun violence, it's the only way!
Imagine this game coming out today. The way you treated a player with a concussion was by injecting them with steroids.

I believe every American should own a video game! Responsible video game owners understand the risk and keep their video games locked up in a safe and take proper video game training courses.
Waiting for a new game to come out that is both decent and isn't littered with paywalls and micro-transactions makes me want to kill myself.
I can confirm, I played Madden last night and then instantly killed 200 people by kicking the ball so hard their heads came off.
What's even the difference between playing Madden and watching an actual American football match? Isn't the point of the game to be as close as possible to the source material?
Why would the mere fact that you're controlling a team make you more aggressive? Shit, I'd say that real sports supporters tend to be more violent if anything.
Correlation does not imply causation. This is the reason we don't blame kids going to school for school shootings, because all school shooters went to school.
