Introduction In recent decades, as video games have become extremely popular, an abundance of slander has attacked the video game industry. One accusation is that violent video games make players violent. This obscure statement would be like saying that sports games induce players to exercise. Much of this misleading information comes from people trying to find a simple answer to some of society's most horrific acts of violence. A fairly recent example would be the Sandy Hook tragedy. An unnamed veteran law enforcement official said the killers' motive was to accumulate 'points' and "they feed on it until they come out and say enough with the video screen. Now I'm really going to become a hunter" (Lupica, 2013).
