He is 18 years old there for he is an adult. Games do not make anyone kill people. (I haven't killed anyone I don't even own a gun) Rather or not a Christian should play this game is a personal thing between God and them. Sure I would say that children should not play this game because  of its adult rating. But 18 makes him an adult and he has to make his own

choice. 

 

Make him get a job.

This is just my opinion, but I would speak to your nephew and explain to him what his game playing is doing to his mother. If he continues to play regardless of his mothers feelings', I would tell your sister-in-law that there's nothing wrong in banning that game in her home. Her house, her rules.

Well, he is an adult, and free to make his own choices at 18, like LadyKay said.

And Man is also right, your sisters house, her rules...if she doesn't want that in her home then ban it.  If he doesn't like it he may think of moving elsewhere though and she will have no control whatsoever if he does that...in any part of his life.

Not an easy thing to have to deal with, but none of today's issues are

Violent video games do not cause shootings. That's a myth. I've been playing violent video games since high school such as call of duty, battlefront and many others. I also have multiple firearms in my home and never been tempted to go on a rampage.

Is it healthy to be playing that much? Prolly not. But he is an adult. If he's still at home then the parents have the right to shut off his internet. If he has his own place then there's not much they can do. As far as you, if you think its affecting his walk with God, then there's not much you can do other then voice your opinion in a loving way and pray for him. You don't want to nag them or make a scene of it, it will just create negative feelings toward you.
