    You could argue that the entire game is violent since it takes place in a capitalist economy.

    19 more chances for a violent crime. Considering we had stuff like arson and drive bys in the last crime, I think well get one at some point. We just need to be patient

You could argue that the entire game is violent since it takes place in a capitalist economy.

Despite the pernicious effects of capitalism huge numbers of people support this iniquitous system. The competition encouraged by capitalists and their government fractures community spirit, and the winner of economic competition imposes suffering on the losers. Because they do not have what they need, the indignity, frustration, resentment and anxiety impel the losers to become violent. Capitalism means violence ? the pollution of environmental violence, the militarism of political violence, the maintained unemployment of structural violence. Capitalism must be eliminated. All this is the direct and inevitable result of the exploitative system of capitalism and accounts for the largest part of human violence. This system not only breeds violence, but is violence - the pollution of environmental violence, the militarism of political violence, the maintained unemployment of structural violence. This structural, institutionalized violence is extended on an international scale, widening the wealth gap

well it depends what sort of burglary but yes this is a fundamental idea behind anarchism that it is merely a response to violence imposed by the capitalist system and the biggest form of violence is labour violence such as lay-offs and wage reductions. and so not violence in itself.

My understanding is that the whole plushies and flowers market used to be children and women, human trafficking. But, as time passes, and the developers seek to entice a larger audience base, they are slowly scrubbing the game of all violence and other "unsavory" characteristics. Given time, the drugs may even be replaced by softer alternatives.

Ironically, its capitalism that is doing this. Otherwise I agree with you that capitalism is a subjugative system.
