Ep. 104 Violent video games with Villanova Professor Patrick M. Markey

Do violent video games make people more violent?


Amid calls to censor or restrict access to violent video games
because of their perceived contributions to violent events (such
as school shootings), the question is as important as ever.


On today’s episode of So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast, host
Nico Perrino explores this question. He is joined by FIRE’s
resident video game expert (and FIRE staffer) Ryne Weiss and
Villanova University professor Patrick M. Markey. Markey is the
co-author with Christopher J. Ferguson of Moral Combat: Why the
War on Violent Video Games is Wrong.
