Ya seriously, if this is a university level paper you can get into trouble (marks wise) by not backing up your statements with actual data. Frankly I suspect a lot of what you are claiming is false. If this is a low end high school paper then I wouldn't worry about it so much.
For one thing sim gamers are not exclusive (a lot of us play other games beyond sims), though we do tend towards a favored type of sim (ie. millitary, or racing). Also I would not say that most sim gamers are ex military. Modding can be found in any game type (though sims tend to attract super mods a lot). Lots of us also do not play on high end systems as others have said. I will say that military/racing sim gamers tend to be older (I would guess around 35 years average)

They can get upset if something goes sour in the game, but understand that Simulation games replicate real life, and as in life not everything happens to your liking. They will never commit murder over a game.

I would get rid of that entirely as to my knowledge no one has directly killed another person over emotions generated due to a game (theft not included). It could be argued that killing in game can desensitize a person to violence, even in sims (particularly fps tactical shooter sims). The media and certain vocal groups like to portray games in certain negative ways but the research hasn't backed up a lot of their claims.
