Forgive me but isn't a key part of the human understanding gleaned from learning from others?
Yes, much knowledge is gleaned from personally going through a situation. But one can learn much about drug addiction for example, by watching a relative go through it, rather than going through it yourself.
In fact, it can be argued, that observation from a neutral position may actually bring knowledge the experiencer doesn't have - like what it means to live with a drug addict.
You as a gamer may be completely unaware of the change in your anger levels.
Your wife will be much more able to testify at how much more of a beast you are after playing violent games than you will.
Certainly that is my experience of relationship. My wife holds a gigantic mirror for me to see things I otherwise am blind to.
And effects of MMORPG playing was one of them.
