But usually only localized violence… I’m sorry to any friends that may have had a controller thrown in their direction in the past… and to a former landlord that questioned a freshly patched wall panel 😔

Can't agree more .. gamers are so less violent in real world cuz they spend most their time in the game world .. btw check out google genie new world foundation model for creating game worlds from a prompt ..

The book - How Not to Be Wrong explores this with violent movies.

Economists Gordon Dahl & Stefano DellaVigna studied crime rates vs. movie attendance. Turns out: on nights when violent blockbusters are in theaters, violent crime actually drops - both during the screenings and after midnight.

Why? Young men (the group most likely to commit assaults) are sitting in a dark room watching explosions instead of drinking in bars or wandering streets. Researchers call it voluntary incapacitation.

No evidence crime “rebounds” later - it just… doesn’t happen.
