Although you may be right in a way about that, think about anything else that can be classified as an addiction. Say you smoke once, say you think its alright and it makes you feel good, well then you smoke again until you are up to 1 pack a week, and it keeps feeling good so you smoke one pack a day, and then even thats not enough so you keep going. Do you see how with these specific stimulations come a desire to have more? Sure it is a way to release anger, but if you keep playing it, soon you are going to want something thats a little more violent, and then a little more violent, until you want to act violent cause its better than watching it happen on a screen. Although it doesnt happen very quickly or it doesnt climb to that kind of extreme very often, it does happen and because of the stimualtions you want more. Not like i am defending the side against violent games, i am just pointing out an obvious string of events that happen quite often among other things of similar trends.
