I'll reiterate a part of my comment I left in a different subthread:
If you have a problem with violence, Mortal Kombat should be near the bottom of the list because it's just pixels, without anyone getting killed or disabled in real life.
Just look at how popular UFC, MMA, WWE, boxing and other contact sports are. Billions of people watch them. Floyd Mayweather was paid hundreds of Millions of dollars for beating his opponents, imagine just how many people paid to watch that? And they really enjoyed it. This is infinitely more worrisome to me than people not handling gamedev well.
People have been maimed and killed in the (boxing) ring. Ali was diagnosed with Parkinson's syndrome as the result of all the head trauma he went through.
