School Shooter Video Game
 

There is a video game coming out where players can act out a school shooting. It's called "Active Shooter."

Quote:

Anton Makarevskiy, a 21-year old developer from Moscow, says he was surprised at the furor surrounding the game and he’s considering giving it away for free online, despite the protests from survivors and the families of victims.

The game is described as a simulation of an active shooter situation, where players can opt to be either the killer or the SWAT team tasked with neutralizing the situation. Screenshots from the game show attacks taking place in both an office and school environment.

The developer, on the game’s Steam page, says “please do not take any of this seriously,” but that’s unlikely to assuage survivors of real world tragedies and victim’s rights groups, especially as the game proudly touts its “variety of real life weapons” and “impressive [artificial intelligence].”

How could someone be so obtuse to think that this would be a good idea?

WWWP 07-18-2018 09:29 PM

it's very bad taste but i would play it not gonna lie

The Batlord 07-18-2018 09:33 PM

Oh good I've been fantasizing about this for years.

[MERIT] 07-18-2018 09:35 PM

Maybe it's because I'm a parent or I'm just not "cool" anymore, but this whole idea seems WRONG to me. I get the "active shooter" thrill, but at a school? Have it play out against faceless space robots or something.

Key 07-18-2018 09:36 PM

It's been removed. Read the link.

Faceless space robots in a school.

I'm glad I'm not alone. Although I would exclusively play as the SWAT team. Fuck school shooters.

I seriously have been having moral dilemmas guys. About video games and movies and music in which I partake, but don't feel comfortable letting the kids do so. Life is getting real LOL.

Oriphiel 07-18-2018 09:40 PM

How would you feel about faceless space robots in a post office?

I think you're underestimating the moral evil of high school dudebros.

Even when they swerve over and cut you off, and then drive really slowly?

WWWP 07-18-2018 09:55 PM

i read the complete columbine fanfiction series so i gave up any sense of moral superiority years ago

I didn't support it in the past, but now I think that in certain cases, it should be applied.

I don't think this game is going to be the game that changes people perspectives on what should and shouldn't be in video games. It's been that way for years and it's just become something that people turn a blind eye too. Hell we have games where people are being ripped to shreds. Compared to that, this ain't ****.

Not even on an ironic level?

Suspension of disbelief is one thing, but a game based on the predatory murder of children is a bit on the nose. Should the game designer have the right to publish it? Absolutely. But we, as a society, should shame him for doing so. Keep your freedoms and learn a lesson. All in a days work.

Since faceless space robots are apparently always adults, it's probably the default mode.

On the contrary, the game was removed from Steam due to backlash so the shame already happened. This type of backlash is typical in the gaming industry especially since some developers will push boundaries. Sometimes it works. And in this case,it was a very bad idea from the get go and I'm glad to see it got removed.

Would I play it? Maybe.

The Batlord 07-18-2018 10:16 PM

This isn't the worst game ever released actually.

Ethnic Cleansing (video game)

Dude, you were at the perfect gaming age of 9 when it came out in 1997. And you had both it and the sequel to play in your teens.

Face it. Your generation was awesome.

Right age, wrong place. I grew up in a Pentecostal Christian household. My mom threw my video games away for being EVIL, but had no problem whoring around or drinking. Funny how people apply morals.

I was waiting for mommy issues to explain your love of women.
