Seemed like such a cool idea! I wonder what the stats are on people who choose symbiosis with the creature and people who choose to exploit it. I only love animals from a distance, but I'm still too soft-hearted to choose to exploit this creature.
It's also just funny (a funny coincidence, not me having a problem with you posting it) seeing this posted to Lemmy because I learned about this from Reddit years ago and just recently unwishlisted it for reasons I do not remember.
good old "let's do an evil playthrough", "oh i have the option to shoot them in the face and take their money, uhhh, welllllll maybe they'll be useful to me later, let's spare them...."
I always love games that allow for evil playthroughs.
Even though it's just a game, I am not down with abusing animals in-game.
Not to mention that I have a dog, so I am into animals. :)
Eh, it's pixels. I'm no murderer for drowning my Sims, same logic should extend to whether we call those who exploit this in-game creature animal abusers. I am too softhearted for it, but I'd imagine many animal lovers who treat their pets well might choose that option. Maybe they are completionists! Maybe fictional suffering, especially the suffering of a creature that does not represent something we have in real life, does not get them the same way the suffering of their real live pet would. I cry at movies, others do not.
Although I do get if watching it feels bad. Being okay with others doing something in theory does not mean you have to like watching or participating.
For sure, it's not that big of a deal. I personally don't like that kind of stuff when playing video games. :) Kills the experience for me.
Hey thanks for being civil on this disagreement, just came from browsing Lemmy and seeing a nasty comment in response to a trivial disagreement over liking or not liking a video game, on completely nonpolitical, nonbigoted, non-social-justice grounds. It is rather frustrating, so it's nice to see anyone doing the opposite and behaving well in a disagreement.
