Your point lost any validity when you started with the opening line of "Your employer. This isn't a job, it's a game. No one is getting paid, could lose their job, their house, their life. It's a game.

Yeah, you're right - I should of started with a world view you can feel comfortable with.

Your mummy tells you your pocket money is going to be halved .. etc etc.

If you can't deal in hypotheticals then that is your problem and not mine.

Also, this is indeed a game; now ask the guy who is being bullied whilst trying hard how much he's enjoying himself. Google a little; games have much larger real life social impact that you seem to be aware of. Your comfortable definitions work for you though, so, yay.
