There are two buttons in front of you...

RED - You get a copy of GTAV today. Somebody out there in a third-world country, somebody you've never met, dies.

BLUE - You never get to play GTAV, ever. Somebody out there in a third-world country that you've never met, is given a lifetime of wealth and freedom.

Which would you push?

I'm a good man, blue for me.

Honestly though... I'm interested to see what everyone's perspective is on GTAV, and just what lengths people are willing to go to for what is just a video game. Social experiment.

[whatsstrength]

Red. Cruel as it sounds, citizens of third world nations don't live very long anyway.

[ACR]

Red button, i can't control what happens, people will always die by natural cause or other circumstances and regardless of what i or anybody choose, death is a part of life.
I guess i'm renegade

[bluetops]

Red. Someone dies in each day anyway.

The word you are looking for is degenerate.
Seriously, what kind of argumentation is that? It's okay to kill because people die anyway? And after all I get to play my videogame.

Why are you so butthurt? People will die regardless of meaningless things like choosing to play game now or never or later. It's not like i am activating nuclear warhead ffs.
And i was making reference to mass effect, but it seems you are to stupid to understand, the only degenerate here are you.

Sure, I may have never met them, but I may meet them in the future, in which case I'll just bring some GTA to real life...

No I'm kidding. But seriously, how do you know that the 3rd world country person's family isn't going to be offered "Push the RED button and the person responsible for your wealth will die and you keep this wealth, Push the BLUE button and you lose all this wealth, but the person lives.


I'm a good guy, I voted BLUE. But if they were asking about taking away my GTA SA.....

The key is that OP said "third world nation". It's about how you perceive that statement. TWN could mean a more civilized but dirt poor middle-eastern nation like Iran, or a small disease-stricken African nation. I assumed he meant the latter, so I chose red. Those poor African nations have starving children and disease everywhere and they drop like flies everyday unfortunately, so it wouldn't be a hard choice for me.

[SilentnElite]

Pushed blue but didn't read OP, still I chose the right answer.

[Da_Lurker]

You guys need to relax, synthetize and take the green pill. It will still be a sh*tty ending, though =/

Next question: Either never brush your teeth again or someone dies in Africa.

Question after that: Either you never eat again or someone dies in Africa.

After that: Either you lose all your loved ones or someone dies in Africa.

After that: You must be homeless for the rest of your life or someone dies in Africa.

Do i need to go on?

[canttakemyid]

Red.

- If their life is bad enough, then death would be a reward.
- 154,808 people die everday CIA Factbook. If I don't press it, 154,808 people die. If I do press it, then 154,809 people die. A person dies anyway.
-'Third world' doesn't mean Somalia/poor. It is a non-aligned nation during the Cold War (includes India, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Mexico, many potentially decent envrionments).
-Whose to say that this person is or isn't more entitled to wealth and freedom than I am to GTAV? Neither of us is entitled to either of those things; it's reality. So I chose a reality that at least includes GTAV.


*Good Topic though. I like where this will lead .

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have started the argument, I'm the catalyst. I should have known from the start that I couldn't save earth
