Millennials when they are old enough to make their own video games: Makes wholesome games about being a naughty goose. Also makes an RPG where you don't have to kill any of the enemy monsters but make friends with them because you feel bad for them

Violent AAA games don't count shut up, corporations aren't people.

The stark contrast between the stuff my generation makes in the indie scene compared to the corporate scene is pretty interesting though.

    They basically completely shut up about this. Why? Because they started making shitloads of money. It went from newer fringe entertainment industry to the primary source of digital entertainment.

      And they notably don’t care that the most edgy and violent games are military shooters because it’s okay when the US Army does it

      I'm old enough to remember people questioning whether the sport of football would make you too violent.

      This debate was happening in the middle of the First Iraq War, mind you.

        You know what, that's pretty funny because association football does have a LOT of examples of fans going on rampages. Not the case for video games.
