That's because most games are about shooting other people. This is something only children (and perhaps some dictators) love to think about.

Imagine what you would think if someone claimed that “most movies are violent”. You would think that even a cursory glance at Netflix or Apple TV or the shelf of your local Blockbuster would quickly disabuse you of the notion.

So it is with games. I’d urge you to take a second look. These sorts of generalisations, ill-supported by evidence, have historically been bad for the medium.

38 out of 50 games in https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/all-games are about shooting people. So "most" doesn't sound too far fetched.
