The thing about violence is that it plays on the very first of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and as such, it is the most effective way of generating immediate immersion and need on behalf of the player. Sexuality would be the second need. Could you make a game about surviving and/or fucking people that didn't rely on violence? Maybe. Some survival horror games don't have the player committing acts of violence, such as Fatal Frame, but violence generally needs to be in the setting in order to truly raise the stakes. There are also dating sims, but I've never been interested in those, and they play out a lot as "solve the puzzle to get hentai" from what I understand.

Whenever there are aspects of a game that involve helping people non-violently, I do usually take part in them. The one that comes to mind is Dark Cloud, which had a mini game where you had to rebuild all these towns in order to get all of the people to live near water, or far away from that guy they don't like, or with at least six trees around them, until everyone was happy.

Oh no! A game that's based on survival in a postapocalyptic future-past includes in your desperate struggle to stay alive lots of violence! WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO WHEN VIOLENCE IS USED FOR ENTERTAINMENT?

People who don't play video games complaining about the fact that games are not designed they way they want.

You mean like in New Vegas where you could gather medicine for the Followers and help get people free from their addictions and possibly convince one of the biggest drug dealers in the area to start making medicine as well as his chems? or in Fallout 3 whee you could help wastelanders by giving them water? Hell that's not even getting into the shit you can make for yourself that heals.

This is what people like though. Should game companies start making boring shit just to be different?
