Violent video games came about because there was a market for them. We are a violent society. We like to play these games. I do not believe violent games breed killers, but allow people to "vent" or blow off steam, which is healthy.
Our society has become more violent and it would have become so with or with out any video games.
The odd duck who goes postal and kills a bunch of people is just an abnormality of society and if there continues to be more and more of them they just represent a growing violent society as a whole.
Personal opinion here with no data to back this up. It is just what I believe.
