The game's the game because people keep choosing to play it. There's no game without players.
You can't call yourself ethical if you choose to play.
Do you think we should kill everyone, just to be on the safe side?You can't make an app to make the world better. Making the world better involves wholesale slaughter. Killing on an industrial scale.
