This is an illogical assumption and should only be considered lightly. Until better research is conducted with better-selling evidence, video games should not be a factor in assessing an individual's motivations. If we came to the conclusion that video games actually cause violence, then it would make sense that violent TV shows, movies, and even comic books might also encourage violence. Many homicides or homicides committed by adolescents or young adults can be explained by other means, such as their mental state, social interaction at school, or parents.
