(13,574 posts)There's no proof of course. And they don't want to mention that the easy sale of military weapons to civilians might have anything to do with it.
Years before video games, the RW blamed rock music for crime or moral decay and whatever they didn't like.

(51,084 posts)Are video games played more on computers or cell phones now?

(29,322 posts)But AAA games are not being produced as much due to the pandemic so not sure if people are still playing them at the same rate. Video games I played on cell phones rely on micro transactions to make the game more fun which can be expensive. Computers are as good or better for gaming than consoles but I have a PS5. I also have the newer small Xbox which I found online before the PS5.
