All my friends, and the generation before and after me, have played video games. Trust me if it caused it at all you would feel like you're living in Syria. I still catch spiders and let them outside. Video games must have really screwed up my value on life since I respect a life so small. Your view is as silly as thinking playing chess causes war. Sure you're trying to capture their king...but it's just a game. Mental illness or not having good parents are the cause of violent sociopaths. It's like blaming guns for murder. It's only the humans involved that are at fault, not the tools. Ridiculous lol.
