I have seen these effects of gaming. Divorce, obesity, poor grades and failure to progress professionally. Thankfully, I have not personally known someone that has committed violence.
IMO - Gaming is like any other facet of life. Moderation is the key. If you "need" a fix of 4 hours of gaming a day, you have a problem. Do I believe that a person that plays 40 hours a week of a violent game can be more apt to commit an act. You betcha!
