“Violent video games like Call of Duty have often been cited as the motivation for real-life shootings”
I played Tiger Woods Golf, online for years, certainly one of the most docile video games. My game partner and I were playing another team and one of them started screaming at his little girl, who was probably around five. It escalated into him beating her, he was calling her every vile name imaginable, we could hear her screaming, the hits and the mother begging him to stop. It lasted at least ten minutes until he realized his earpiece was still on and he cut it off. I immediately contacted Xbox to report it and get help, they were ambivalent and said there was nothing they could do. That gamers personal information was not available. My game partner just happened to be on a Navy Seals support team and he tried to see what he could do, it was a dead end.
Many young children have been beaten and even killed for interrupting their game addicted parent or parent’s significant other.
We have created/raised a generation of immature adults many of whom are not even or barely functional human beings.
It’s not the game that’s the problem though, anymore than guns are.
