People also often say wandersong has a "musical combat system." Like... it can't just be singing. It has to be COMBAT. someone has to be hurt! right??

not to call out someone specifically, but stuff like this really shows where our culture is. only in games would you call singing to someone "using music as a weapon"https://twitter.com/ugn_gaming/status/1039406752519708672 …

I know it's all with good intention... it just shows where our assumptions are. I hope gamedevs will keep working to change this!

thinking about it more, it might just be that we're so used to using these words we don't even think about what they mean anymore. Anything used is a "weapon." An interaction is "combat." that's just what games are. We can do better than that though.

Here’s what they said! It looks like English isn’t their first language so I feel bad for the example I chose... but my point still stands that games should be less violent x)https://twitter.com/ugn_gaming/status/1039702472032276481 …
Hello@theBanov, we apologize for the misunderstanding. We were referring to a 'weapon' in the sense that its a 'tool' to solve problems, connotation to gaming culture otherwise. Kinda like how one can say: "Using Awareness as a Weapon to Fight Global Warming".

thisthisthisthisthis and so much this the amount of games with no combat-related mechanics is so low that violence is not just more common, but also the norm, basically and that's... sad?

I mean when you think about it, you can't really make some deep gameplay mechanics without any form of combat/confrontation There's a ton of non fighting games that are cool but none with in depth stuff like character building etc

But also just the idea of, “weapons are what you use to solve problems.”
