    This study is either a statistical anomaly, or there is something... unusual about people who love Animal Crossing.

    "If you play Animal Crossing for four hours a day, every single day, you're likely to say you feel significantly happier than someone who doesn't," he said.

    "That doesn't mean Animal Crossing by itself makes you happy."

    But, he added, 40 years of previous research had suggested the longer people played, the more unhappy they said they were.
