            I recall there was a huge fuss over a game in which you as a Nazi kill jews and run a concentration camp or something like that.

              Excellent. It will be an efficient way to measure whether games indeed influence their players

                We'll see, so far no dictator has mentioned Civ as an influence...

                      I know a few but we'll save those for name the game.
                      Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

                        Not really. The scientific lit on this is NOT that person plays game about killing folks with Ak-47s. person goes out and buys AK 47 and kills people. Its more along the lines of person plays game about killing folks with AK-47s, person answers psychologists questions in ways that indicate general level of aggressiveness is higher. Human minds are too complex for influence to be limited to direct imitation.

                          More likely person who already wants to kill people goes out and buys a game about killing people. Perhaps the Feds should force game stores to release customer info ...

                          Regardless, my objection is that this game is dumb and simply intended to incite more parental objection (which of course increases sales), not that it's violent

                            Nazi Camp Tycoon... or perhaps Auschwitz Tycoon. Here is a tycoon kind of game yet to be exploited.

                            Meanwhile, you could start training for such a game with Prison Tycoon...
                            I watched you fall. I think I pushed.
