I do think software houses glorify violence in their games...even the good ones allow you to "switch off blood" (which most people do after the first go along with all the other bells & whistles so as to reduce processor load etc).

There have been tons of studies on this, many low-quality, and most of them didn't even find causal links between violent behaviour and (violent) computer games.

Probably the same reason why smoking pot doesn't make you a crack addict - the causal link is mysteriously missing.

watching porn is something passive. Playing a violent game is not. I suppose you could compare beeing violent after playing an aggressive game with beeing horny after having sex.
