Shooting games may not be new, but it is rare for players to play the notorious school shootings, and those who dare to develop the game are defying.  Now, there really is such a name "Campus killer: North America's Tour (parochial Shooter:north Anglo Tour 2012)" Of the game appeared, and rightly aroused the widespread concern of the United States Society. "Campus Killer" is based on the valve open source game engine and the "Half Life 2" material developed. The player acts as an "angry student" in the game to kill as many students as possible with guns in a school scene within 5 minutes.  At the end of each pass, there will be a shot of the player acting as a murderer who shoots himself. Anger, murder, and then suicide, the pattern looks just like the Cho school shootings that shocked America, as well as the Duren Cleiberd shootings of the late 90.  In fact, the game is modelled on one of the most appalling 4 cases in the history of the United States. You might think that a person who makes such a game probably doesn't have an antisocial inclination or a brain anomaly, but the fact that the creator of the campus killer thinks he's not only right but also reasonable.  In an interview with the US media The Escapist, Pawnstick (a pseudonym) said he believed there was nothing wrong with "campus killer". "It's not my turn to teach people to help each other, social problems are not my own ability to solve." Pawnstick to reporters: "The original purpose of the game is to be interesting, provide to the people who play the game in the real world they can not experience the life (or not be allowed to do)." "In response to questions about the description of the killings in the game, Pawnstick argues that" campus killer "simply provides the purest killing of fun, just as people experience in games like" bully "or" Call of Duty, "  It is only in such a game that players are always given a seemingly high-sounding reason to kill people for granted and to make the murderer brazen. Pawnstick even suggested that the simulation of a campus shooting game would help prevent the recurrence of similar cases, explaining that the goal of "campus killer" was to provide a specific type of experience for those energetic and overly sensitive young people to vent their energy in the virtual world, Instead of having them buy a few guns to go to a real school.  After all, for them, the latter is no more difficult than the former. Finally, Pawnstick says "Campus killer" is expected to offer free downloads this year. He stressed that he would not succumb to any external pressure, as was the case with the families of victims of the Auschwitz tragedy, even if the "campus killer" was really blamed for being an accomplice to school violence. "It's not normal to think that our modular game should be responsible for the sudden anomaly of a normal person," he said. "(Edit/Xu Mingming)
