GTA Played By More Than 70 Percent Of Teens

Posted by simoniker on from the rockstar-getting-good-market-penetration dept.

cdneng2 writes "This Yahoo!/Reuters article indicates that more than 70 percent of American kids have played Grand Theft Auto. The study also indicates that those who played are more likely to be in fights. It's a good thing the authors cautioned that this study did not prove a link between game violence and real-life behavior." The Gallup poll editors specifically and sensibly advised: "The data can't demonstrate causality - boys who are more prone to fighting may simply be more attracted to violent video games."

    The parent topic was not a troll (unless user comment history suggests otherwise, I didn't check).

    Now this post is off-topic, go ahead and mod me to oblivion.
