and thusly, we, as game designers, might want to try and "fix" this,
move towards a better vision of what society should be.
Again, kids / people / society will be spending many days of their
lives in these games. (all of my friends in EQ have 100+ days easily
spent in it)
As simple as an axiom of: actions you take have REAL consequences.
Certainly, people have a limited form of that now in terms of faction

there are clear alternatives/other paths to take to avoid the faction
you just upset.
