News: A game like heroin

Yeah, basically it is capitalism in a game.  This writer nails it.  You get to destroy people in your way.  The thrill of victory.  It is a high.  Your hands shake.

And... how does this work for kids?  Or just, really, do people want the game to be real, to kill people in their way?  Isn't that the premise of the game?

It is a bit terrible.

A horror maybe

I'm glad it isnt just me that sees it this way.
