Violence in video games: does it cause violence in real life? And how do we morally feel about it? [content warning - mentions of suicide and shootings]

In this episode Don, Fai, Marcus and Sachin discuss a report of a bill in Pennsylvania that would increase tax on violent games, to raise money to keep schools safer. Is it a good idea? We discuss if there's any evidence to justify such a tax. Then we talk about ways in which virtual violence could be wrong - from a moral perspective. Skip to 24:45 if you want to get straight into these topics.

Please note this episode was recorded long before the August 2019 Dayton and El Paso shootings.
