I guess the issue many people have with adult games is that they consider playing these games some form of adultery and encouraging loose morals. They forget that it is just fantasy. I'm sure some people could take it that far, but most people stop taking the game seriously once they shut the pc down. In the same way violent games are also considered to be a form of murder to some. The reasoning is a bit harder to explain by them though, as there are no real corpses after you won the game.
The human imagination is boundless. Better to let it move in a healthy way than to suppress it until it turns weird and unhealthy. I've seen people that suppress themselves so much that they become plain strange after a while. Games allow us to explore things we would not consider doing in real life. Afterward we can also think about things we learned and also decide what we like and do not like. By playing violent games I've learned how to better control anger (does the insane scientist ring any bells?) It reminded me of my little brother. I'm sure there are many other examples. ps to Thomas, like you said, Angle is very important, pun intended. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
