[@SIPEROTH]

If Call of Duty and Sniper elite and Hitman etc taught people how to be killers and trained them, then shouldn't people thank video games? Because it means we have many trained demon killers ready to fight the devil with all the people trained by playing Doom. We are basically keeping the earth safe from the spawns of the devil.

What I told myself when I first started was it's nothing like video games. It's basically common sense. If I were to join the military and pick an MOS that sees combat, it would be nothing like games, airsoft or paintball. I could never live life like a video game in any circumstance.

I had a foster father who would lock my video games up and tell me that they rot your brain. He told me to read the Bible. I would come home from school where I was bullied all week and on Saturday he would let me play for one hour on the weekend if I did chores. I literally had to earn every second of game time. On Sunday he would force me to go to church and the kids in the youth group would bully me. I always looked forward to Saturday cause I could be alone and not be bullied for one day of the week. I hated him for what he put me through. To this day he tries to contact me and preach every time I talk to him. Constantly telling me 'you seem to be doing well" you should read the Bible". I'm like why are u calling me all the time you kicked me out and still think ur in charge of my life.

That’s the kind of thing that would push a person to violence. If only there was some kind of outlet that would let you channel some of that frustration without any real world consequences.

I know this is old but I loved watching this. I'm a 50 year old gamer. I have been gaming since the 80s. I also have a degree in psychology and I work with many people who suffer with mental illness. In my very early 20s, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. I was out of reality for a while and worked hard to get back. It's not perfect but I'm doing what I couldn't do back then. I love video games. Halo, Doom, Wolfenstein, Quake, Mass Effect, GTA, etc. Not once...not a single time...did I ever feel an inkling of an urge to hurt anyone, especially kill anyone. We use video games in some of our therapy. Co-op gaming helps a lot of people improve, despite the content. To create a killer, it's not ever just one thing that causes it. It's a perfect storm of genetics, socio-economic status, relationships, access to weapons, and so much more have to all go horribly wrong. Video games may be a piece of that, but only if the others exist. As you said, correlation does not equal causation.

20:01 the only thing that comes close would probably be VR games, but the appeal of those kinds of games is that it can simulate reality, hence why it’s called Virtual Reality. And even then I’d still say no they have perfectly captured that experience because they’re always gonna try to exaggerate or make things more “exciting” to make it more fun for the player.

[@SoapOfTheMactavish]

Exactly, people love playing VR games because they can feel like they are real thing without the consequences

[@theguylivinginyourwalls]

@@SoapOfTheMactavish Like, where else could I be John Wick without actually slaughtering a small nation's worth of goons? Or fly a starship through a nebula or a fighter jet over a battlefield? VR allows people to have experiences they'd never know otherwise. Some good, some bad, just like life. But unlike life, I'm not hurting anyone or putting myself in any mortal danger. I'm not blowing up people in that battlefield, I'm not gliding through a nebula with nothing but a thin glass between me and the void, and I'm definitely no John Wick.
