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.
What I get from simulation video games is that if I didn’t have to worry about working to live and the daily grind of life, I’d work to get real-world experience doing stuff I may like.
