He does look at the videogamers. See the Penny Arcade and the VGCats incidents. Or if he doesn't look at it himself, he has someone looking at it for him. Otherwise there was little way he could have heard of those things. And yes, he needs gamers to be violent in order to have a case. Of course we know that they aren't a particularly violent bunch, so he can use every little bit of gamer violence he gets. Which basically means, every opinionated post every gamer yelling online, every little attack on him or his side is just further "proof" of his "just fight".
That's why you shouldn't get arguments on a personal or emotional level, especially when you're the ones defending.
