- Well, lets turn that into a question, You mentioned that you spend a lot
- of money on it (This is not a criticism). Would you also spend as much time
- and money on a similar game with comparable graphics in which a car races
- around a track? or a giant pac-man eating dots?
-
- Well, I dont think I would either. Mankinds violent nature surfaces rather
- easily and I sincerely believe that the arcade game companies, movies, and
- TV will cater to our ever darkening interests. This is why I for one believe
- that our future will darken into a more violent civilization.
