I don't know if it's going to help. If sick people still want to play a violent game, there are other ways of getting it than in stores...

Re: German retailer pulls violent DVDs, games
i personally don't believe that video games have a direct affect on people's mentality and lust/urge to kill people and have them think, "oh, it's just a video game"

Re: German retailer pulls violent DVDs, games
it's often used as a means to blame something rather then someone..
