All due respect, but you are in the wrong place to be preaching the anti-violence mentality, "for the children" no less.
Children don't belong playing these games, PERIOD. Stop [u:1d04bb29ae]them[/u:1d04bb29ae] all you want.
But, an adult, 21+ person like me has to scratch through a day of work dealing with backstabbing managers, false promises and all around hypocrisy. There are times I want to scream at people, but that paycheck helps repress those feelings (wouldn't want to be fired would we?).
If there wasn't an outlet to release some stress into, there would be a high probability that they __________("fill in the blank"). Lookup the definition of burnout.
So, if I want to do terrible terrible things to virtual people in a computer game, that's my business. If you think getting rid of these kinds of games is going to make the world a better place you're deluding yourself. There is no way the world is going to get "better", period.
If you just meant to acknowledge the fact that this "stress relief" shouldn't be necessary in the first place, I agree. But, that isn't the case, and it hasn't been the case ever, so no point in bringing up the obvious on a "game" forum where the primary function is a "violence delivery system".
In other words, loosen up. It's the only way your going to make it.
PS. Treyarch sucks, this game will suck. | |
