The point was that such video games allow subconcious desires (that EVERY human being has...) to be expressed in a non-harmful way, rather than a harmful way in the real world. It is just like playing cops and robbers, or cowboys and Indians, or other such games as a child. Incidentally, that is why such games are so popular.
There was never anything about living in a virtual world over a real one or anything of that nature.
