BruceVC Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) GTA is successful. It doesn't need to be changed because people already want to buy it so the SJWs are just trying to tell other people what they can and cannot play. EVIL. Nobody I know of is trying to take SJW favored games away and those whoa re are scumbags too. btw, When you try to murder something and proclaim success then yeah you definitely hate it. So, no doubt about it, SJWs loathe gamers. They have admitted it. \ You calling me an idiot just proves the point about how double standard that SJWs live by. "I have already accepted that Gawker shouldn't have posted the video, lets move on now " That's not good enough. You now need to take the next step. Admit they need to be DESTROYED for their EVIL actions. Volo every single gaming genre can improve and look at ways to be innovative Games should evolve to cater for new audiences, you are right that the GTA franchise is very successful but I don't think that means nothing should be changed The real question is what would be considered meaningful change to grow the fanbase...and I just don't see how removing hookers is going to do that ?

Amentep Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 GTA without killing hookers after using them wouldn't be GTA. Is an iconic activity, even non gamers know of it. I wouldn't have known about it at all if it hadn't become an internet issue. Mind you, I've never played a GTA game, so... I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcador Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 And yet you deride Volo, amusing.

Malcador Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Don't think anyone was doing that, but okay. Germany banning the symbols in games seems silly to me, but I am outside.

I don't think that there is a one size fit all definition, but on some part propaganda makes it look worse than it seems. I know this because every day we were pumped full of news about how bad the US government is.

Meshugger Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hungary, the happiest barrack behind the iron curtain!

Also, you didn't answer my question. I honestly think the term "totalitarian state" is meaningless. There's a huge spectrum of various possible systems of governance with authoritarian attributes (and varying levels thereof); calling all of them "totalitarian" makes the term rather useless. So yeah, personally, I reserve the term for the platonic ideal of the Orwellian nightmare.
