    It seems like they’re saying that it markets guns, not the typical argument that it makes kids violent. This argument seems less crazy to me.

      It’s still not a convincing one though. If it wasn’t this weapon used, it would have been another, regardless of where the perp first saw it. I’m not a fan of Activision, but this isn’t on them.

      So I’m not a fan of guns but, “marketing guns” is not per se illegal nor unique to video games. Yet the lawsuit separates out video games specifically. So I am not sure I agree that it’s less crazy at the end of the day.
