Hey kids, you know all those psych studies that told you playing video games will make you shoot up your school? Well good news! That’s not true. Apparently all those video-game-researchers were really biased and wanted to prove a link to aggression.
However, a new meta-analysis of all that data actually proves that there is no link. None whatsoever. Coincidentally, they also confirmed that playing video games improves your spacial reasoning. So… video games are actually good for you! Bonus!
But I’m sure the media will conveniently forget about this study the next time something violent happens and they need a scapegoat.
