No.

Purchase with discretion. If we can’t ban tobacco products, which have a directly negative effect almost all the time, we can’t ban violent video games which don’t always have the negative effects.

Why not? Just because kids and other people play the games do not mean that they will have negative effects. Parents should think about what video game to get for their kids instead of giving them what they want all the time. Remember the Columbine shooting? You think that some parents would watch what their children do instead of leaving them alone all the time.

No, but retailers should pay more attention to what game they’re selling what people.

if it causes any harm to society, then maybe, but my obvious answer is no

Well, online games tend to be more addictive than regular console games.

Especially games like World or Warcraft, COD4, and Counterstrike.

Hell, even Runescape. It gets REALLY annoying when some idiots ask you whether you play Runescape.

Because violent games are fun. Just look at No More Heroes, or the Warriors.

Why would they ban a fun game like this?
