It’s been long proven that the correlation between video games and violence is weak at best. Video games are just easy to blame because why take responsibility as a parent when they can deflect it to something else?
In fact, if we look at the actual correlation, violent crime has gone down significantly ever since video games became more violent. Are these two trends related to each other? We can’t say for sure, but if a study is done on their relationship, I’d love to read about it.

Absolutely, those experts must have missed the memo on the power of creating unforgettable memories through gaming.

Experts don’t say this at all, but that’s not the problem with your post. It sounds like you have issues believing research. Every once in a while, peer-reviewed studies are unable to be replicated, but that doesn’t mean you should stop believing in evidence and facts. Studies get more stuff right than hearsay and gut feelings.

What experts? And are these experts from 25 years ago because nobody has been saying that shit and meaning it for a long time

The same experts also say Guns don’t kill.

“Experts” is actually one overzealous lawyer who got disbarred in 2008. Jack Thompson was a mistake.

Experts, i.e. psychologists and sociologists DON’T say that. “Video games cause violence” is solely a talking point of conservative politicians, who hate everything new, especially in USA where they try to blame videogames for gun violence to avoid a gun reform.

Nsfu2 was actually so good that i dont want to touch any other racing game.
World was kinda okeish as well but i think i enjoyed it only cause i could do some racing and police escaping with my closer friends. (Also sticker system felt superior in that game. I wish it would be in nfsu2 as well :p)

Do the video games make them violent or were they already violent? Without Dark Souls, how many less holes in the wall, smashed doors, monitors or broken controllers would there be?

I remember when books took the hit like videos games did back in the day. Wonder what the next big thing is to blame
