How GTA Makes Me Feel
I honestly don't find the game funny or amusing. All the mass shootings, gang violence in recent years has changed my attitude and how I feel about GTA. I'm not trying to be some goody-two-shoes or anything, I played GTA all the time growing up(first played gta3 at like 11 y/o.), but now that I'm older and taking in all the violence of the world, the game makes me sick, and it's astonishing it is so tolerated. No, I don't think these types of games should be illegal, but I think as a society we need to have more concern about who gets their hands on these shoot-em-up simulators and be aware of what kind of culture we're heading towards.. Such ruthless acts that kids get to simulate seamlessly and endlessly, which real people have been victim to, is disrespectful to the victims and their families in my eyes. Now I already know there are GTA fanboys who're gonna reply with rustled jimmies and give their perspective, which is fine, but I'm not trying to argue anything. I'm just sharing my opinion, that's it. Feel free to share yours tho.

The gaming industry is small and rapidly shifting toward archetypes very few studios have proven (publishers have a lot to do with this one) the thing that draws me to Bungie is that they have always acknowledged their strengths in the games they make are not based on violence, that is only contingently violent that doesn't cut corners on gameplay, and that it is, as such, morally superior games. As a society we ought to celebrate these games. The feels. Stuff my dreams are made of.
