GamerFitnation: The idea that violent games lead to violent teenagers and young adults has long persisted gaming history, and the topic has been discussed and researched extensively.

This academic paper proves nothing but a correlation between the playing of violent video games and lower scores in a morality test.
It does nothing to account for the possibility of reverse causality (bad parents who might neglect to pass on any morals to their kids are probably more likely to buy them GTA or CoD, which 15 and 35 of the 109 13-14yo kids played respectively) and even admits that further research must be done.
Furthermore, this paper doesn't even bother to show the questions used, perhaps to shield it from deserved critique?

All we can take from this paper is that there is probably a strong correlation between kids playing 18+ video games and not conforming to established ideas of morality. That isn't exactly surprising.

I like the point you brought up with the parenting. I think it's a little bit of both the parents and the games that influence the teens/young adults.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space
