Take all this kind of thing with a pinch of salt. Anyone who commits acts of violence and its blamed on games is the defence team trying make out their client was not fully responsible etc etc. I've played games since 82 and have not once killed even a single person! Not even someone I didn't like! Cos people who commit mass murder etc are unhinged before one game was played.
As for shrinking your brain....I wondered what that rattling noise was when I moved my head☺

Well Mrs W has a brain the size of a walnut already - she's married to me so she can't be the sharpest tool in the box can she? - so lets hope she steers clear of violent video games [X(]
Saw "Mrs. W" and had a slight moment of WTF and then realized, oh he online name begins with a W

If games wouldn't exist, they would blame movies. Or Rock'n Roll. Or alcohol. Or whatever else.
By the way, I have read Vikings did get away with murder when they did it while being drunk. Nowadays defense attorneys can only dream about that.

There have been studies by various universities that point to a marked decline of empathy in the general population.

I would ask whether apathy is also declining, but...[:D]

The Empress: "Sometimes, you're ignorant and apathetic."
Me: "I don't know, or care, about that."
