It ill becomes you to disregard this. Sure, you might not think it good for the soul, but I've been playing video games for forty years and my soul is just fine, so there's that. (Anecdata? We're talking about souls and shit, so my anecdote absolutely is evidence!)

The violent games will likely make the violent people worse... but so will reading about violence, watching it on television, and anything else that presents violence to a person inclined to violence.
