arguing both sides. Those against video games often have the same arguments: “Video games are bad for

your eyesight,” “Video games make you violent,” “Video games foster* seclusion*.” But these claims never

have any grounding, and were just spun up through the fear and ignorance of those who don’t understand

games… and the findings have been amazing. There are a ton of scientifically validated, peer reviewed, and

published articles that specifically point out benefits of video games.
