Not to pass judgement, but rather than looking at the content of video games ( sex,violence, drug use) and deciding whether it is influencial in a harmful sense or not, I'd rather see the focus shifted as to why grown adults spend copious amounts playing video games. Again, and no offense to anyone but I'd like to see explanations as to why people spend so much time out of reality and in a fictional world.
And I've seen it first hand. Many moons ago I had a roommate who actually quit his job so that he could get to level 14 or something playing Super Mario. I moved because he didn't (couldn't) pay his share of rent, his girlfriend left him because he spent all day and night playing the game and eventually had to move back home since he had no where to live. When I moved, he was 27, or like I used to say, 27 going on 13.
