Its okay to make games where countless soldiers die horrible deaths but its not okay to make games where civilians die? Why do the lives of "innocent" people count more than the lives of soldiers? Is it really so honorable to play any violent sim? Why do people find it so offensive to make jokes about "terrorist" actions but not global wars? Were the millions of lives lost in WW2 disrespected by the countless books, games, tv shows, and movies that have exploited their tragedy? I see little difference between simulating WW2 combat, playing Atari Frogger, and this little joke game: they are all digital and in some respect involve virtual deaths.

Make no mistake, real lives are infinitely valuable, but video games, however offensive they may be to some people, are just video games.

Udie have you ever strafed a convoy or town in AH?

Not sure if it was Falcon4 or one of the Hornet sims where you could take a tactical nuke or two with you and drop 'em where ever you liked to.
What a sick bastard I was

Each to their own.

Its okay to make games where countless soldiers die horrible deaths but its not okay to make games where civilians die?

yep

Why do the lives of "innocent" people count more than the lives of soldiers?

they don't "count more"

Is it really so honorable to play any violent sim?

nope (is it *honorable* to play a game at all??)

Why do people find it so offensive to make jokes about "terrorist" actions but not global wars?

because one is personal and not an act of war, and the other isn't. It has to do with a sense of "fairness" I guess.

Were the millions of lives lost in WW2 disrespected by the countless books, games, tv shows, and movies that have exploited their tragedy?

I dunno, were they ?

I see little difference between simulating WW2 combat, playing Atari Frogger, and this little joke game: they are all digital and in some respect involve virtual deaths.

I agree, these are games or simulations that involved virtual deaths.

Make no mistake

I'm so freaking tired of "make no mistake" can't anyone think for themselves??????

real lives are infinitely valuable, but video games, however offensive they may be to some people, are just video games.

They are just video games. Even the offensive ones.

I find this one offensive and I have tried to explain why after someone misunderstood my intentions and position.

Udie is absolutely correct. The premise is sick as hell. But just as I have the right to that opinion, you have the right to play the game and enjoy it if that is your cup-o-tea.

However, to put it in perspective how many of you felt disgust when this game Go Postal came out?

Wotan · « **Reply #41 on:** May 13, 2002, 01:17:04 PM »

looks like im targeting women and children to much to get 6. I will adjust my target a bit.

btw any of yas fly lancasters in the main? All they did was target civilians. Terrorfliegers..........
