Video gamers have been a large and growing part of our culture for a long time. Whether you are eagerly awaiting the next Call of Duty release or trying to beat the next level of Candy Crush on your lunch break, you are part of the gaming world. Over the years this world has had to deal with a lot of stereotypes and false claims. One of the most damaging of these claims is the media blaming violence and other crimes on the influence of games.
