Recently I've come across some articles by a Priest or two arguing that violent video games may be wrong. The argument goes that in games like First Person Shooters, the player derives a sense of accomplishment and, thus, happiness from killing their enemies. Now, they're not arguing that these games make people more violent in real life. They also argue that even in games where you are playing a hero fighting bad guys, that it's not a good thing for players to get that sense of satisfaction from killing even fictional bad guys. Their perspective is that even when violence is necessary in real life, it should always be looked at as a regrettable necessity, and thus it's wrong to in any way, shape, or form to get this sense of satisfaction we get for violently defeating an enemy, even in a fictional context. What do you think of this perspective?
