The issue tends to be showing a correlation. Some people may become desensitized to violence in gaming and be susceptible to acts. The problem is that these kind of minds in the absence of games could easily be affected by other stimuli in the same fashion.
In large numbers gaming has not shown to make cultures more violent. If anything we are less violent than our ancestors. However, there are other factors at play so I wouldn't jump to games causing us to be less violent.
We have been violent for thousands of years due to our brain development, it is humans burden to overcome their own violent nature. Good news is we're getting better, bad news is we have a ways to go.
