No, there are many people like you who blame videogames for everything.
Not only video games and certainly not video games for everything. I played my fair share of SHMUP and other kind of violent games. But this one really looks like a movie, I can really imagine kids identifying to the protagonists and reproducing that IRL. I wouldn't want to forbid it but still it disturbs me. I'm wondering.
Cinematography is here for a century already. What amount of crimes is done because "Cool! I want to be like that guy with a gun"? I suppose a dozen in total during that whole century.
If you want to go there : All US action movies have a gun displayed on their poster. The US is number one in gun homicide from a very, very wide margin. You can always say it's not linked. Other countries think it is.
Yes, I will say that posters with guns are unrelated to the number of real crimes.
