Never knew that about Grossman and videogames, sound like a retard. I only read about 1/4 of the book so far, and he is mostly quoting researches and experience from other people, some things make sense to me some don't.
He does have a tendency to jump to conclusions based on experiences from just a few people he talked to, for example "anyone who experiences combat and doesn't shit their pants is a cold blooded psychopath". Could be that happened to him first time he played Doom.

I was an 18B in the 10th SFG(A) when his book came out. A copy showed up in the team-room one day and everybody ended up reading it at some point. Almost everyone on the team were combat vets and every single one of us concluded that he was full of shit.
