"Here are these incredibly creative people.
These are people that could change the world, and I go, why are you putting your energy into really gratuitous and obscene violence?"

Something about the human psyche that is really messed up - It could be the burst of adrenalin we get when we're grossed out.

But she is right, imagine what programmers could do if they put their minds to major issues. The problem is, can you make people watch? And, can they profit from it. That's the challenge.

ChaosEnginesays...

Because this isn't that hard, and frankly, it's not even that creative.

Granted, there's some skill in the animation.
And there are some sorta funny (in a really dark and twisted way), vaguely inventive, ways of killing people, but it's nothing a bunch of stoned teenagers couldn't come up with.

The point is that what game developers do requires knowledge and skill, but they're not geniuses.*

You could try putting them to work solving the great issues of our time (climate change, overpopulation, poverty, hunger, Justin Bieber, etc), but they really wouldn't do any better than the people already working on those problems.

BTW, in case you weren't grossed out enough before, @ 2:02 the two characters are a father and his daughter.

* Well, some of them are, but they're geniuses in their field.
