Just like feral children!

It sounds like they finally nailed it though, is that desire for 1:1 already gone? I've had it since like 4th grade and it hasn't wavered.

People keep reinventing the phonograph! That thing was of a piece of junk! Am I really the only person who finds recorded music completely stupid?

Oh rogers I knew I shouldn't have bought Skyward Sword at full price, it'll be like 20 bucks in some black market black friday shop.

Haha yeah, it's more of a math beauty than art beauty. But it's spot on for this topic.

Very good points, but like others said Minecraft and Skryim are only the latest in the beautiful and pure genre called Rougelikes. Check out Dwarf Fortress if you want beauty.

Epic poets have done it from the dawn of literature, authors have done it, musicians have done it, painters sculpters weavers filmakers graphic-novelists puppeteers have all made a complex human relatable story about war.

Not even close. Do enemies have motivations, families, any sort of humanity what so ever? Have you ever, ever felt bad about killing another human being in one of those games?

Video games are designed to be fun. War is not. Do not make war video games.

It's not an issue of desensitization, but an issue of making WAR look like paintball and removing all the hellish parts to make the game sell to teenage boys.
