Video games don't cause violence because video game developers don't actively try and convince you to perform real violence.

Video games COULD cause violence. Any software COULD. And this one did.

    Pretty sure the US Army was trying to convince people to perform real violence when they developed a game for recruitment.

    That was more training them to have a good view of the military. It didn't say "go out and kill brown people". It said "look how great joining the military is. Vote for our funding and join when you're older"

    It's horribly manipulative PR that targeted underage kids pre-recruitment age. But it's not inciting violence.
