"A study funded by volunteers of the harvard school of psychology made with 2000 FPS gamers, more specifically, those who play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 4 managed to link depression and low social performance with a low Kill death ratio in the games.

Those who agreed to take part in the study were asked over 40 questions online and they ranged from their favourite colour to how oftenly they eat vegetables. The formulary still exists and can be accessed in the link just below the paper.

[...]

As it turns out, FPS gamers who have a KD ratio lower than 1 also have problems with their social life, lack confidence, and even have symptoms of the disease of depression, whilst FPS players with a higher K/D ratio have stated that they have a good social life and consider themselves mostly lucky and happy."

What do you think?

That's hilarious. Good thing my K/D in all CoD games are higher than 2.00 and my BF3/4 ratio is around 1.5 xD

My K/D is always balanced above 1.5+ so it's good till I play with my friends and it drops ( .__.)

Those people are probably depressed because CoD is a terrible game.
