Is buying realistic shooters a moral choice?
When you buy a video game feauring licensed guns, you are putting money in the hands of gun manufacturers. Are you okay with that?
No play-play guns, please. Can't we all just get along?
Happy middleground: look real, but called something else (e.g. Counter-Strike 1.6)
Completely fictional guns are cool. The more lasers the better (see also: paintball).
The more realistic my toy guns are the better (see also: airsoft)

The whole topic is getting ridiculous to be honest. When I play a game, it's to relax/chill/wipethefloorwithfriends, not to get all emo and moral about.
When gaming money goes into the hands of terrorists or drug cartels, then I may develop a moral compass ..... until then, meh, grow up.
P.S - if I ever had the misfortune of running into the little wank in the video, I would open palm smack his face for irritating the world.

Also:
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.
When you buy a video game featuring licensed cars, you are putting money in the hands of car manufacturers. Are you okay with that?
Don't see what the difference is? I mean, if guns in a game make you more inclined to shoot people, then certainly cars in a racing game should make you more inclined to become a danger on the road?
This whole thing is just silly.
