I do agree that some games can't teach kids that much but some fighting games can teach people alot and also show them what could happen. If the player knows its just a game then the games has no control over them, but if the player says its his/her "real" life then....well....they need some help. anyways I don't agree with your point of the video game basically saying the player is weak. A person/player is only weak if their bond with both the real world and the video game world is off balance. The bond of the real world has to be equal to the video game world in order for the bond to stay balanced.
