You do have a valid point. But if parents are going to be prohibiting their child from playing video games, it shows that either their kid has serious mental issues and can't handle that kind of media (or TV and movies either, like you said), or they simply don't trust their kid to keep his/her head on straight.
So maybe parents with sane children who still don't allow their kids to play games like this aren't afraid of the game brainwashing their kids, it just shows that they have no faith in their children's ability to use their brains.
That, sadly, is a different issue.
