PC games less fun if they're politically correct

One of the attractions of computer games is they're fantasy-based and the normal rules of behavior don't apply. Shoot-em-ups and fight games are fun and an antidote to the banality of our daily lives.

It's surely no coincidence that there has been a huge surge in demand for multiplayer games on social network platforms like Parking Wars, House Buying and Slave Manor. These kinds of sites have become a cause of lost productivity in the office, as worker drones seek an online buzz by creating mischief in Wonder Hospital, or "stealing" crops on a Kaixin001 farm.

Correction: The word "stealing" has been replaced by "picking", "harvesting" or "plucking" - depending on which online farm you log on to.
