Why didn’t you do it sooner? This is a good development.

I had this moment as a kid playing the first Red Dead Redemption, where you go down to Mexico and literally wipe out half the population just to catch one guy.

Happened to me playing True Crime: Streets of LA when I was little. My parents were gone and I was already feeling kind of lonely. I shot some random NPC and for some reason felt terrible about it and turned the game off.

I got a terrible feeling when I saw kids kill every animal in minecraft with glee. people, doesn't matter, but when kids kill animals with glee in a videogame I get a bad feeling, like there's something sadistic about it. That's coming from someone who spent tons and tons of time shooting people's legs off in Soldier of Fortune. I don't reproach them but sometimes I said "aw, poor pig" when they set them on fire or something. Children are evil little shits.
