Excuses for inconsiderate things in video games

[gargantual]

Isn't that Rockstar's entire developmental strategy for their games? They specifically create their games for adults to enjoy, or so I remember reading somewhere. Everybody remembers the

scene from GTAV, right? Rockstar didn't come around later and patch that portion of the game away. They left it there.

I don't know if what I'm talking about here applies in the same way to the topic in the OP, but it follows similar lines I suppose. I wish more companies had the balls to stick to their guns like Rockstar does.

WelI I'd imagine after they've been called to a senate committee and chastised over a sex mod, by grandstanders in a nation that's hypocritical about controversy and dignity, it'd only feed the cynicism, and spiteful resolve for the next game."

What about the elephant in the room that nobody is talking about. The one group of people who appear in all sorts of games and are always stereotypically portrayed as the 'bad' guy. Everyone wants to stand up for the player character but what about the villains. It is time these NPCs got fair and balanced treatment. Why do they always have to be 'evil' or 'bad'...couldn't some of them help us plant a garden or co-sign on a car loan?

Villains are people too and they have feelings!
