There’s another way to see it: violently playing games fosters violent behavior.
How you play and what you think while playing games matters more than the exact content of the game.
It’s easily seen in how the same games can be played in completely different ways depending on the people: the last Zelda is inherently a fighting game for instance, but you’ll have people focusing on the world and the story, other people just enjoying beating strong ennemies, and others cooking and looking for hiding spirits for half of the game.
