I have a friend whose 16-year-old brother was grounded and had his violent video game taken away. His dad locked it in the gun cabinet.

The kid came into the family room where his parents were watching TV and said "hey, I have a surprise for you guys". When they turned toward him he shot them both in the head. Her dad was a pastor! Her mom died and her dad's face is still deformed. Junior got life in prison. Tell me that game was not super important to that kid and also influenced his actions.
