It's not how this game is played by any business or organisation with class and a quality product. Deriding the opposition is the last resort of a business failing to convince customers in a positive manner of its own strengths and superiority, presumably in the absence of said qualities.
Exactly, as you point out, little good can come from it, only bad - if it does prove to be influential. It's no more acceptable to point the finger exclusively at parents as it is at Rockstar games or Marylin Manson, almost EVERYTHING contributes to the society we live in to a greater or lesser extent, and in cases like this, as I suggested earlier, the morality of a business which profits on a POTENTIALLY harmful product is questionable.
Whilst I do agree with the sentiment that people, in particular parents, no longer seem to take responsibility for their actions, the problem I have with business operating in an immoral or at best ammoral manner - profit at all costs above the greater good (we can all think of a good example in the world of operating systems can't we now?), would also seem to apply. Sorry, anyone who produces and sells something which contributes to the normalization of violence in the minds of the young must also take some of responsibility for the problems it causes.
