Morals and Videogames

Actually, in real life, what would "really happen" is that everyone would stick together in an apocalyptic situation. It's basic survival instinct. Our species would have died out almost instantly if our ancient ancestors just decided to kill each other non stop. Wanna know what would happen to the rare troublemakers? They would be shunned/killed for the greater cause of the society. Sorry, I just hate it when people play games like Rust and Day Z just to kill every person they meet and try to defend themselves with "but this is what would ACTUALLY happen!" It's intellectual dishonesty/willful ignorance.

As for Dark Souls, Lautrec griefs the player for a purpose. He kills the Firekeeper to lure the Chosen Undead, so he can get their humanity. You could argue player character griefers do the same, but they ultimately don't care about humanity, they just want to be dicks. Lautrec had a purpose to killing you beyond "lolwhatever". That's why I feel that griefers have no place in the Souls games. They ultimately serve no purpose to the game-world, and they get nothing tangible out of killing their peers.

If you don't know what I mean by perspective, you don't have it.

I know what perspective means literally, but you may have a different definition. Hence my quote marks around perspective in my previous post.

I do have perspective about world issues. I care about many things and am knowledgeable about them. Wars in foreign countries, cancer research, homelessness, and yes, journalistic integrity(not just concerning gaming, mind you).

k bro. Keep caring about trivial bullshit.

I will! Thank you for your permission, my lord. I will not disappoint!

No but seriously, it's possible to care about multiple things at once. Including a combination of "trivial bullshit" and "more urgent issues".

I know, right? There are so many more important things to think about and do than debating who Zoe Quinn fucked or whether or not Sarkeesian is fairly representing the Hitman franchise in her YouTube series. People's priorities, man.

Nice appeal to worse problems fallacy, mate :

Hey man, you do what you want to do, but I think you could all use some perspective.

I've got plenty of "perspective", whatever the hell you mean by that, anyway.

Call me when you've got more than "Yeah well what you think matters doesn't matter to me, so it doesn't matter to anyone!"

Because gaming is a multi-billion dollar industry that most of the world's population partakes in. People enjoy gaming, and they like having reputable and honest reviewers/journalist to go to when they're having doubts about something in the industry(a game, a company, etc.).

This is a very common diversionary tactic used for almost anything. "Oh who cares about [insert subject of controversy here]? It doesn't matter! Focus on something ELSE!"

Don't even get me started on the appeal to worse problems fallacy.
