Why are video games violent?
ddemchuk: Reptilian? What about human society isn't violent?Violence is (generally) illegal and because of that, it's taboo. Allowing people to do something that is taboo without threat of repercussion sells. Allowing someone to say, race each other to see who can buy the most groceries fastest, can be done in real life without getting in trouble, so it's boring. If games could have gratuitous sex and drug use (beyond Grand Theft Auto), they would sell just as well if not better.You don't get continues in life if you catch AIDS...
