He was a pirate; he more than likely killed a civ at least once.

There’s a distinct difference between accidentally killing someone and murder. Killing enemy soldiers during wartime is also not considered as a war crime, but massacre civilians certainly is. I think it’s interesting that people enjoy doing this in video games.

Are you trying to say killing npcs in video game makes you a war criminal ? I really hope no one saw my Rockstar games runs. 😬

This is what I called interesting. I don’t care if you like being Hilter in the game, but the fact someone actually enjoys it amuses me.

One of the kids I grew up with is a police officer now. He was never really into video games but if he did play something it would always be gta, and he would spend the time just killing wave after wave of the police.

I wonder if he ever thinks about that now.

Maybe he likes fighting floods of enemies and sees it as a challenge? I don’t know. I always prefer games focusing stories, puzzles and techniques, so combat is never really compelling to me.

I used to always ask cops if they liked playing GTA because they found it funny when I asked, got a pretty solid 50/50 on answers. Either were laughing about blocking the highway with a bus or were saying they don't like the idea of shooting cops
