Do violent video games influence real-life aggression?

[Shawn]

What do you think about the influence violent video games have on players?

Do you think these games are bad or is it all about the person's mental health that plays them?

 

[Nomad]

I think violent video games can influence temporary aggression but I do not think it can induce long term aggression.

I think those that get aggressive due to games probably shouldn't play them. Is that a fair assumption?

 

[Nomad]

I think that is fair assumption. Maybe these people should try less violent games, racing for instance.

I like Sims 4. After playing it, it makes me want to build a house

If playing violent games should make me become aggressive, it means that I should have been in jail by now because I might have killed a lot of people.

They never made me want to harm anyone or anything.

Anyone whom video games makes to harm others is suffering from another thing which is far from the influence of the video games being played.

I think video games won't really matter if the aggression is already there. I don't think video games MAKE you an aggressive person. I think some people are aggressive already or they've gotten aggression from somewhere else.

I've played plenty while growing up, never gave me anger issues or anything like that. If anything, they gave me an outlet for my anger.
