Games like Mortal Kombat and Grand Theft Auto just made me want to learn how to make games, how the physics worked. I became a game programmer and studied physics because of games. If someone wants to be a killer then they'll use any excuse game, parent, teacher, bully, whatever. I don't think games are the cause. People have always formed gangs and such as a source of power and stability. These gangs are no different than countries at their core, groups of people coming together to support each other. They have rules and hierarchies which have nothing to do with GTA and everything to do with survival. The game may glorify the lifestyle but only to someone who's already chosen that lifestyle.
... and at the same time I've no interest in making games that contain graphic violence.
