In a nut shell, if developers produce games that potential customers don't
like, and those games don't sell, other genres of games will be produced.

Dear Aaron,
I agree that most games depict violence in far to cavalier a manner.
I also give you cudos on both the warning labels, and the use of very
gutwrenching and active clues that this is not socially acceptable
behavior during game play. However, I do think that this sort of
decision needs more justification than everyone else does it. If game
developers do not take a stand on such issues, then we end up with a
market glutted with games that peddle violence for the sake of unit
sales. Now, that said, as I pointed out in both the original post
that you are responding to, and in the second post, I'm not
necessarily opposed to violence, but I think the opening sequence and
motivation for the character are what I find dangerous as concepts for
gaming. I hope to see these same game mechanics ideas and use of
realism and graphic violence used in a more constructive way in
future. I am merely stating an unease with this release, its method
of delivery, and its content. You are free as a developer to give the
public what it wants, and if this is what the public wants, they are
free to buy it. I can buy or not buy, and as I said, vote with my
dollars. No offense was meant, nor criticism of anything but the
game's kick-off premise. I think the rest could maybe have been
worked without this initial sequence and it would not have bothered me
one bit. Take care,
Jeremy
