This is one of my pet peeves here. First off, games by themselves, are inanimate objects. As such, they have no voice, thought or anything of their own. If someone gets inspired by a game to try it in real life, and then blame it on the game, they're complete and total idiots. The game cannot make you do anything. Unless there is a scene in it specifically saying, "Hey you, outside the screen. Do this," you are responsible. The only game I can think of with a scene remotely like that is Final Fantasy V, and it tells you to dance with them. I once heard about a kid whose bladder exploded while he was playing Kingdom Hearts, and he wanted to sue Squaresoft. It was in a letter to PSM. They replied saying that unless Goofy told him to go to the bathroom, he was responsible. I'm pretty sure he had to go but didn't because he was having too much fun with the game. Anyways, the game cannot make you do something. It can not consciously give you an idea, as it is inanimate and thus has no mind or conscious or anything. You can take an idea from it, but there are repercussions. They do realize that killing and carjacking have penalties in the game too, right? They would if they were smart, but they are way too easily influenced. I hate it when people do this, and it gives video games as a whole a bad name.
