If the game is what resulted in his actions, then the fault lie in an inability to properly deal with the environment, and not what is in it.
I don't believe we are mindless products of our environemnt. Input is had, processing is done, and a response is made. I am the summation of my life experience as that is what has led me to become what it is that I am, but I came to this through decision not mindless assimilation. Anyone who is sufficiently unthinking that a video game could prompt behavior so contradictory to the general guidelines for civilized living as far as I'm concerned has failed at life.
