Game developers need to stop striving to emulate reality. Eventually, virtual worlds are going to be so convincing that people will claim they were playing a video game when they committed a crime. “Um…your honor, when I took out the high school principal with a headshot, that was actually part of a covert operation that I was involved in with the Delta Force Squadron. I’ll waive my right to a lawyer because this is all just a misunderstanding. I’m sure you’ll be hearing from the pentagon soon.”

This is a joke. The truth is I would love to lose myself inside a game that felt as real as dreams do when dreaming.
