Shooting isn't the core mechanic in the majority of video games.

  Indeed, as we all know the order is 1. Run 2. Think 3. Shoot 4. Live

  The most prolific violent video game is Minesweeper. The fidelity may be low but the little guy dies and mines are powerful weapons detonating all over in the game.

    One error and the whole level just blows up.

    > The most prolific violent video game is Minesweeper. By what metric, install base? That doesn't seem valid. And are you seriously equating minesweeper with a first or third person shooter? Minesweeper is almost humanitarian in comparison.

  Exactly this. Anyone who thinks that must have almost no real exposure to video games. The diversity of gaming experiences is huge, and shooters represent only a small fraction of that.

    There’s a long tail of diverse genres, but is hilarious to suggest that the total numbers add up to more than games where shooting is the primary activity.

      I am 100% certain that the majority of games do NOT involve shooting in any way.

  I’m curious if you understand what majority means?
