A member asked:
Video games cause kids to become violent and kill people in real life" is this true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In some - yes: The vast majority of the population are grounded in reality and find a video game a simple form of entertainment. Exposure does not alter their actions.For some, the games are a form of therapy or escapism. The brutality, turmoil and action in these games provide them with a model of a different lifestyle they envy, and their emotional state makes them vulnerable to copying the behavior.
