Just like reading about or watching violence in movies or books has now become acceptable in todays standards so will Video Games. The only reason video games are seen like this is because it is still a new art form (Yes video games are art) and this is why people pick on video games because they are unfamiliar with it. Video games have actually some great side effects such as lowering aggresion. Sure if you overdose on them AS WITH ANYTHING there will be NEGATIVE side effects. In short no video games cause as much violence as the Mona Lisa. (Actually probably less considering the amount of people playing video games and people have stolen the Mona Lisa) Also remember APPS ARE COUNT AS GAMES. Thats right candy crush is a video game and is labeled as such. Picture your average candy crush player commiting violence? Yeah, didn't think so
