New research paper published today on PLOS One just now, that might be relevant to our interests.

We failed to find evidence that playing video games affects prosocial behavior. Research on the effects of video game play is of significant public interest. It is therefore important that speculation be rigorously tested and findings replicated. Here we fail to substantiate conjecture that playing contemporary violent video games will lead to diminished prosocial behavior.

People like California Senator Leland Yee shit on science like this all the time. They simply do not care what the studies say and see to it that opposing "studies" are funded and silly ass unconstitutional laws keep clogging up our courts and wasting taxpayers money.
