As of right now there is no evidence, and never has there been any evidence that video games incite or are related to real world violence. In every case of a gamer, or moviegoer, etc., inflicting real world violence, the person has always had severe mental health/stability issues.

So it would be nice if we could stop bringing up this topic that has been disproven year after year, and instead focus on the actual issue for once.
