Bombshell study shows some government assistance recipients spend more time playing video games; achieving higher scores than well-to-do citizens.
Back in 2011 the government commissioned a study with The Foundation For A Welfare Free Country to study the advantages welfare recipients receive outside their obvious nutrition, housing, medical, and clothing needs. Throughout the three year study a recurring theme became clear: if you accept government assistance you were more likely to excel at video games.
Of 3588 welfare recipients 3203 (89%) had a current or next generation video game console. 2901 (80%) stated that they had at least two video game consoles. And 86% of all welfare recipients played online at least 38 hours a week. When interviewed the recipients named Madden and Call of Duty as their most frequent online games.
Out of respect of the study we will not include the names of the study’s participants, but one recipient had this to say:
“In the evening, when the people with jobs come home and get online, my clan lights them up! They are just a bunch of jealous haters because they suck at the game.”
At the conclusion of the study two hundred recipients and non-recipients were pitted against each other to compete on a variety of both online and offline games. Across 12 different titles the government assistance recipients outperformed the non-recipients an astonishing 78% of the time. A non-recipient who didn’t win a single match had this to say:
“Yeah it sucks that our tax dollars support their gaming habit, but what else can these guys gonna do?”
