Parents should get the blame for the children playing these
over aged games because they are the ones who buy them the game and also
consistently allow them t play the game even though they know what is in the
game.(youtube video)
People claim that the is a thing such as game addiction and
the was tests taken at the American psychiatric association to see if can cause
a mental illness however they did not have enough sufficient evidence to be
able to say that it can cause mental illnesses. (wikipedia)
some people think that playing games is a good thing and they think that games are good way of releasing stress and anger. however all test which have been over 130,000 participants worldwide completely contradicts this and hows that they increase negative emotions and feeling and thoughts.

The first study involved 227 college students who completed a measure of trait aggressiveness and reported their actual aggressive behaviors (delinquency) in the recent past. They also reported their video game playing habits. "We found that students who reported playing more violent video games in junior and high school engaged in more aggressive behavior," said lead author Anderson, of Iowa State University. "We also found that amount of time spent playing video games in the past was associated with lower academic grades in college."
the second study , 210 people either played a violent game and a non violent game and within a short time of plying the players who played the violent game punished the player and got angry in some way. however the players on the non violent game took a lot longer to say something aggressive or negative.
