>Violent video games are evil.

As all of us Myst/Uru lovers know, violent video games are by far the evilest of evil. But what is more evil than violent video gaming? Simple, video games that let you build your own stuff. In short, Open Sourcing.

Take Valve for example. They created the Half Life series as well as other games and their own Source engine. Their legacy was ruined when the HL2 Beta was leaked all over the world as well as Valve’s source code. They may claim that even after their hard work and tools got out onto the internet that it helped generate a better fanbase. But I say they’re in denial.

Another example of pure evil is the fan content that spawned from this. I’m not talking simple things such as extra maps. No… Something much worse.

Now, some of you are aware that I own Garrysmod. But I was willing to purchase it just to see how evil it is, and sure enough there is a lot of evil there. For gods sake they let you do whatever you want!!! YOU can be GOD!!!! And only the people who create these games should be the ones playing god. Look at these pictures, what do you see in all of them?

What if people made videos like these for Uru? The very thought makes one shiver…

Valve suffers from having a large fanbase that has the ability to be creative and have fun. Thank your lucky stars that we have restrictions.

While I await Canon Uru, Gmod needs more investigation.

Haahaha, yah, I see your point, a game that tells a story, such as Uru, would suffer horribly from people just doing whatever they want to it. Stuff like that was happening in the Shards, but I never got to log on to any of them. I think the ability to create content is awesome for a system like Second Life, there is no Canon to ruin, and there is so much awesome creativity going on. But, come on, violent games aren’t that bad, people used to think super mario brothers was too violent… sheesh. But, there are some games… Read more »
