I just thought of the stupidest question for everyone.....
Do you think professional game developers(from sony, EA, etc) care if you are offended by their game? They don't even check the general public to see. A person complains, 10 others are happy. Good results for the professionals.
Yea a small bit off topic, but still. Why is everyone HERE arguing about being offended? I re-read the topic(after a good night sleep) and.....the arguing is very very pointless. This is a community of maybe 300-400 active members. The developers here aren't professionals(for HERE that is) so they DO care what the "people" have to say.
Final thought: If you are offended by ANYTHING in this game, even THIS idea(due to walker suiciding), don't bother with it here, take it to the game developers theirselfs. The games great, lets keep it that way. The people are great, lets also keep it that way.
Very Final Thought(for now i think): Lets take this idea in a different direction. Suicide bombings are less common then everyone thinks. The people here are really offended due to roadside bombs, not PEOPLE actually running up to them, hugging em, and boom. So, if ANYTHING like this were to happen, how bout it be a self-destruct button. You get down to 5% hull, enemy says "surrender and come with me", in which you reply "never!" and press your button. Its like the eject button for loyalists. Of course, this version of the idea would still go with he 4 hour rule and blah blah blah, and the ship exploding.....doesnt have to do damage at all. It wouldn't matter in the end anyways, you would be "dead" so you wouldn't care if your side won or not.
