Tоpic A: The Gаmer's DilemmаQuestiоn 1:(40 minutes, ~400-500 wоrds)A horror gаme called Apex Predator allows players to roleplay as a serial killer who stalks, captures, and murders victims. The game emphasizes planning, stealth, and avoiding police detection. Players choose their "signature" methods and can keep trophies from victims. The game includes detailed mechanics for disposal of bodies and cleaning crime scenes. Unlike games where you play as a detective hunting serial killers, this game puts you in the killer's role throughout. The developers claim it's a "dark psychological thriller" meant to disturb players and make them question why they're playing, similar to Spec Ops: The Line. However, there's no forced moral reckoning - players can complete the game successfully by being an efficient serial killer. The game has developed a cult following.Using Luck's framework and at least TWO of the arguments we discussed (Arguments 1, 2, 3, or 5), analyze whether this game is morally problematic. Be specific about which principles apply and why.Question 2:(50 minutes, ~500-600 words)Assume Luck is correct that we cannot distinguish virtual murder from virtual pedophilia and virtual rape. You must now choose a position: either defend the Righteous Gaming (RG) principle (all are morally wrong), or defend the permissibility of virtual immoral actions (all are morally permissible).Develop your argument by:(a) Identifying the strongest objection to your position(b) Responding to that objection with specific reasoning(c) Explaining what your position implies for one specific game or game genre (such as Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, Call of Duty, The Last of Us, etc.)Your Day 1 Answer:Question 1:(40 minutes, ~400-500 words)A horror game called Apex Predator allows players to roleplay as a serial killer who stalks, captures, and murders victims.

The game has developed a cult following.Using Luck's framework and at least TWO of the arguments we discussed (Arguments 1, 2, 3, or 5), analyze whether this game is morally problematic. Be specific about which principles apply and why.ArgumentsThere is no victim - you are the victim by damaging your morals and personSocial acceptabilityKilling for the GameSpecial Status of ChildrenThe game Apex Predator is morally problematic as the game graphically depicts murder and players take an active role in murdering and becoming a serial killer. One of Luck's argument is killing for the game rather than for the kill itself. This argument claims that players murder in video games to progress the game and it's plot rather than deriving pleasure from the action of the murder. However, in Apex Predator, players are creating signature methods, collecting trophies from victims, and dispose of bodies. In a game in which murder is for the advancement of the game, like Chess or Fortnight, there is no graphic blood shed or need to dispose of bodies because the murder is for the plot of winning, not just murdering. The details and trophies from victims intentionally is meant to put the player in the shoes of a serial killer. Since killing is not for the plot, then it's safe to assume the game is meant to bring enjoyment to the player through the murder aspect and fist person serial killer perspective. Whether the player is disturbed or pleasured by the murder is irrelevant because there is no greater plot that the murder is apart of, so the argument that it is killing for the game rather than the kill itself is void. Another one of Luck's argument includes social acceptability. Although games including murder may be socially acceptable now, likewise, hanging people was also a form of entertainment in history. Social acceptability is not a true indicator of morals, but even so, Apex Predator would be morally wrong. It is socially acceptable to play games that include virtual murder, however, it is wrong to be a serial killer. The game Apex Predator simulates being a murderer, from the classic serial killer traits like creating a signature move, to creating trophies from victims, and disposing of the bodies. This morbid traits of serial killers are socially viewed as morally wrong and vile in most cases. Even the game makers recognize this when they said it's meant to disturb players. So, because the acceptability of virtual murder, and the unacceptability of serial killing is contradictory, this game is morally problematic. Question 2:(50 minutes, ~500-600 words)Assume Luck is correct that we cannot distinguish virtual murder from virtual pedophilia and virtual rape. You must now choose a position: either defend the Righteous Gaming (RG) principle (all are morally wrong), or defend the permissibility of virtual immoral actions (all are morally permissible).Develop your argument by:(a) Identifying the strongest objection to your position(b) Responding to that objection with specific reasoning(c) Explaining what your position implies for one specific game or game genre (such as Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, Call of Duty, The Last of Us, etc.)Assuming Luck is correct, and the two or undisguisable, then all virtual murder, pedophilia, and rape are wrong. Through the Righteous Gaming principle and Luck's arguments, there is no popular argument that truly contest a difference between virtual murder, pedophilia, and rape. This is because all of these actions are wrong (to varying degrees). There is a difference in what our guts tell us and what the arguments say. Our guts say that virtual murder, pedophilia, and rape are different, which I concede. When Luck addressed socially acceptability, the special status of children, killing for the game, he found that there was no way to clearly draw a line between the virtual actions. And so, while yes there are differences, they are not different enough to make anyone one of them wrong and another right. Furthermore, since virtual pedophilia is wrong, even just for the advancement of plot, then so must virtual murder and rape. Simply put, if there is no way to differentiate virtual murder, rape, and pedophilia, then they should all be wrong because otherwise they would all be morally okay. The problem with having all of the actions be morally okay is that intent matters, and to make them all okay on any principle disregards the intent and morality of their actions and thoughts. In order to The strongest objection to Righteous Gaming is a combination of the special status of children and the victimless arguments. The victimless crime states there is no actual victim in a virtual crime - because rape, murder, and pedophilia are all crimes in real life I'm going to just call them crimes. No child is violated, no person assaults, no-one actually murdered, and yet Luck argues that the victim is the player. By engaging is virtual crimes, they are damaging themselves morally and hurting their character. Still, one could argue that that is their prerogative as a person with free will. People tell each other white lies and that damaging to ones character as well, but you can not stop them or condemn them for doing so because that is not only their choice, but there is sometimes justification to it too. So while you can call engaging in the game wrong morally to a certain degree, it doesn't make it condemnable as some need the game to let off of stress, or play for work, etc. Additionally, the special status of children poses a strong objection. If something is done to child, with all other things equal, and done to an adult, than it is worse to be done to a child. When it comes to murdering a child and murdering an adult, murdering a child would be worse, so one could say to draw the line between crimes against children and crimes against adults. But when it comes to raping a child and raping an adult, the child does seem worse, however most people don't mean to say that raping an adult is okay and so be readily available in game play. So in order to overcome that feat, ceterius perabis (All other things equal) would have to be done away with. For games such as Grand Theft Auto, this would mean any killing of a NPC- non playable character- would be morally impermissable. However. If games were for shotting practice thhen hunting games would be more popular, but there not, this implies there is some pleasure derived from the target being other humans.Day 2 Extra Question: You argued that Apex Predator fails the "killing for the game" test because murder isn't advancing a larger plot—it's the point itself. But consider this variation: What if Apex Predator added a detective investigation system where police get closer to catching you with each kill, requiring you to balance your "signature" murders against the strategic need to avoid capture? Now there's clearly a game challenge (evading detection) that the murders serve. In 150-250 words, explain whether this change would make the game morally permissible under your Day 1 reasoning, or whether your argument needs refinement to explain why it would still be problematic.
