Do violent video games make people more violent?
Amid calls to censor or restrict access to violent video games because of their perceived contributions to violent events (such as school shootings), the question is as important as ever.
On today's episode of So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast, host Nico Perrino explores this question. He is joined by FIRE's resident video game expert (and FIRE staffer) Ryne Weiss and Villanova University professor Patrick M. Markey. Markey is the co-author with Christopher J. Ferguson of Moral Combat: Why the War on Violent Video Games is Wrong.
