darkknight109 04/10/18 2:35:36 AM #24:	I can think of a few reasons. Nearly all the tech hubs in the world, from Vancouver to Silicon Valley, are located in left-wing areas. Plus, gaming is still targeted at a younger audience, and the under-30 crowd is one of the most reliably progressive demographics around. So if both the producers and consumers are both likely to be left-wing, you do the math. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero.
