4. Where do you think they go? China?
I'd be more interested in the "educational" aspect of the game - what values and attitudes does it teach? than where the money goes. It's made by a corporation, the money goes to hell.

7. IMO, it depends on "the graphics." Our children have been
Militarized by these games ( and they have learned a new "skill set," war by video) for a decade. I would not be surprised if they have been subliminally bombarded with "war is good" messages.
