The Columbine murderers played a bit of FPS, I wish it had reduced their anger.

And yet the millions who buy Call of Duty every year somehow keep it in check and don’t commit mass murder.

My point is that it doesn't guarantee reduction in anger or stress, therefore should probably not be prescribed as such.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough. I'm not saying this should be prescribed as a cure to people with actual psychological problems, just that in my case sometimes I felt better after discharging playing some FPS videogame.
