My point, dont let your little children play these games, follow the instructions on the game itself. if it is for adults, then leave it for adults, is that so hard?

How is it obvious? You could compare it to hunting, as everyone did in the past. Computer games are replacing that.
Why are you quoting those statistics without providing correlating statistics of game use in your area? You are clearly just trying to be emotionally prevocative.
It's not because we enjoy them. I hardly think it likely that these US government funded psychologists are altering their results because they like computer games.
I agree about following the guidelines, they're often too disturbing.
