I don't know if you see the flaw in your logic.

Video games were always violent they just appear more violent now because we can make em more graphic.

Which is exactly the problem. Is all people use tech for is to enhance the type of violence you enact.

And did you really compare Space Invaders and Mario to something like Call of Duty or God of War?

Its like comparing the fight in I don't know, Aladdin to the sword fighting in Kill Bill.
