I've never felt that Video Games are truly an outlet for anger. In particular, it's not clear that the Freudian idea that anger can somehow be "built up" and then "released" is valid in any context, let alone video games. However, I do strongly believe that video games reduce violence, but only for the same reason that smart phones and the internet do: less socializing, less physical exercise, less kids hanging around bored and looking for trouble.
