Young People Who Play Video Games Have Higher Moral Reasoning Skills (inews.co.uk)
An anonymous reader shares a report: Young people who play video games, including violent titles, display more developed moral reasoning skills than their non-gaming peers, a study has found. Researchers from Bournemouth University asked 166 adolescents aged between 11 and 18-years old about their video game habits and questions designed to measure their moral development -- the thought process behind determining what is right or wrong. The children and teenagers who said they played more video games from a wide variety of genres had increased moral reasoning scores, including titles containing violent content. Violent games were found to have a positive relationship with moral reasoning while mature content was more likely to produce a negative one, the report published in published in journal Frontiers in Psychology found.
They have to learn a lot of mental gymnastics to justify pirating all those games.
You prove the study right, you obviously don't have high moral reasoning skills. The last 200 years of theft from the public domain by big companies and dipshits like you can't just wait to bend over and get fully raped.

The last 20 years of PC games has been one of Valve and big videogame companies attacking and undermining game ownership and control of game software on the PC by literally stealing the game and chaining it to servers in their office, ensuring the game is never really yours. It's basically fraud on a massive scale. Which began with half-life/counterstrike in 2004.
Given the overwhelming amount of corruption in america, and the success of big corporations having undermind our rights to own the products we buy. There's a good chance people like you cannot morally reason yourself out of a wet paper bag.
