I think that in some circumstances developers should be made responsible for creating thoughtless junk that preys on the worst side of human nature and does nothing more than simulate the worst most degraded bahavious in modern society.
Both GTA and Manhunt are prime examples of the kinds of things that should never have been. I'm normaly ok with most kinds of violence in games so long as it is pure fantasy and isn't likely to be emulated, or games that simulate wars where sides are clearly defined. Games like GTA are basicly exagerated simulations of what really goes on all the time in our cities and shouldn't be encouraged.
Capitalism most often comes down to exploiting others for your own gain. I don't think its the best solution either. People complain about countries like China, developing countries are using oil hiking up prices mostly for our gain. It's often overlooked that we created their need by expoiting those countries cheap workforce. Most of the energy requirements in those places are the direct result of our manufacturing our own goods on their soil so we can have a better quality of life cheap prices, and better air. Whilst a few over there get rich and the majority suffer at our expense.
