edit - Yeah I play video games with violence too, my point is that video games are a mirror that exposes a less brutal image of ourselves than we are convinced of. The truth of what we desire is as often silly or altruistic as it is selfish or violent, even in the realm of fantasy where the violence is unreal as everything else.
Imagine a dad making that argument these days and then they look at their kid’s steam library and all they play is “shower with your dad simulator”
This is why I’m never getting into PC gaming.
