I'm skeptical people have really changed their views due to a considered reasoning that, well, we were wrong about music, but the real culprit is games, because they're more immersive, etc. I think they're just serving the same cultural scapegoat position as music did. In the 1990s, people reflexively blamed KMFDM or Marilyn Manson, and today they reflexively blame videogames. I don't see much evidence that the people blaming the latter have thought it through more—and some of them are the same people. In particular, I think politicians like Lamar Alexander are just desperately grasping about for something unpopular to deflect the pressure away from guns.

Oh I completely agree. I'm just saying that right now video games serve as a "better scapegoat." I'm sure if virtual reality becomes popular in the next decade we will have a new "better scapegoat."
