So you point to hookers not liking GTA and a two-year old Japanese game that nobody’s ever heard of.

Yet you ignore the underlying issue. It’s all about feedback, is it not? The author of “On Killing” is concerned about it, but when my friends and I “shot” each other while playing “army,” we yelled and fell to the ground, giving very similar feedback. Believe me, if we could’ve used squibs for blood splatter, we would’ve.

This is the exact same logic used by anti-gun people. They think the gun causes normal people to commit crime. You think video games cause normal people to become warped, sadistic monsters. You’re both wrong.

You can say I’m wrong but that hardly makes me wrong.

If people who commit mass murders are gamers, how can you dismiss the cause and effect so quickly?

I will continue to believe that people who are attracted to violent video games have mental health issues.
