I wonder how many people have played them or just read about them, they are so detached from real life its a ridiculous idea!
Its like saying.... A kid playing with his lego, hijacking cars, doing bank robberies may go on to do It.... Its a character on the screen, even realistic games are 100% detached from real life. How many FIFA players became footballers, how many Wii tennis players got to Wimbledon!? Its THAT silly lol.
Just as wii tennis has no connection to real tennis or reality, you dont even feel like playing tennis after it.... Likewise war games for example are as connected to real life as wii tennis.
i sincerely believe and know from experience, that books, films and music have more connection and influence on relaity than CURRENT games. BUT STILL, if a book, film, song makes you do something stupid...,you are a dick!
All you fear mongeres lol, check out THE OCULUS RIFT, this may change things....
