10 Video Games That React To You Being A Scumbag
These games had... thoughts about your behaviour.
The grand appeal of video games over other art forms like movies, books, and music is the freedom they grant players to take control of the narrative and, within reason, do what they want.
While you're more often than not placed in the shoes of an intrepid hero, sometimes players use games to explore the darker, more mischievous side of their personality.
That is to say, they do all the cheeky, even nasty staff they can't or won't do in real life.
