Opens a can of virtual worms. Is it ok to murder In virtual reality? Hmm.
I would think so, yes.
In fact, if it’s a pay for play game, it would open up a whole new revenue stream.
Obviously it wouldn’t be worth it to kill off a Level 1 character. On some of those games, if you’re a Level 60 character and get killed off, at worst you’re a Level 59 character when you go to play again. But let’s say there’s a “superkill” routine that eliminates your character entirely or puts you back to Level 1.
The question is, would the player be discouraged, or just try again?
Well there’s virtual dating.
Maybe you can get Felicia Day.
So why not?
