Meanwhile, I don't think Carmageddon: Reincarnation ( http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...reincarnation/ ) is going to reach their goal of 600k for a Linux port. It's a shame...

I am no fan of such games myself so I just don't buy them.

Could you explain your morals? I don't get what is immoral about a game where no real people are involved.

To think about certain things too.
Thinking about little kids in a sexual way is as much wrong as actually engaging in it, it's just consequences are different.
Just because you can imagine you can shoot off hand of lawful and reasonable Police officer or do it in a game doesn't make it any better. It is as bad, it's just we generally judge by consequence. I am one of those people who see world in black and white, where everything is either darker grey or lighter grey. And very occasionally just grey that is 50/50

If I understand you correctly you think that thinking about something is the same as doing it? Do you also think people should be punished for thinks they have thought about?

Do you think that people that play carmageddon think about killing people by driving a car in to them?

Judge based on consequences...
I have seen 14 years of age kids were laughing at pictures from crime reports, where brains were literally all around floor. Hei, they didnt kill anyone, so is it ok? No! But consequence of their actions was that I made them feel shame.

So what is the consequence of playing carmageddon or laughing about horrible pictures? Could you point to a victim?
