I don't understand what you're saying.  I'm asking what the logic is behind the idea that violent games cause violent crime when violent crime is going down during a period where violent games have increased.

I'm saying that I agree that I don't particularly think that violent games cause violent crime but violent games DO NOT decrease violent crime.

Correlation does not imply causation. Same argument theese guys are apparently using.

I think you're misunderstanding somehow.  I never suggested anything of the sort.  I simply pointed out the discrepancy.
