It's pretty clearly not, they're not suggesting the video game causes those dark thoughts. They're suggesting dark thoughts propel you into acting them out in video games.

Thank you. G*mers man, any criticism of there treats must be an inquisition. Whereas, in real life the "video games are evil" fanfare of the 90s-00s was at best a scapegoat to justify the government doing nothing to stop school shootings, and at worst an active advertising campaign to make rebellious kids feel badass because they bought an M rated game with lots of blood.
