Why post this announcement?
Because I just added the feature that allows you to kill almost any NPC on the streets of Venice yesterday as part of the big Law & Order update.
But let's make it clear. You can kill people on the street in the game because the game has a lot of freedom, and I don't judge your actions. It's designed to be like Skyrim/GTA/Saint Row. You can have all the fun you like.
However, in real-life, this is a capital crime.
Today, Erin Piacenti, the vice president of the Bank of America who had a bright future, was murdered in New York by a mentally ill murderer on the street.
Her kid will grow up without a mother.
She graduated from UPenn, where I also graduated.
She worked in New York City, not far from where I worked more than 10 years ago.
This is a random assault. It could happen to any one of us.
I also have a relative whose job is to safeguard this beautiful city. To just think he may have to deal with those random mentally sick people on the street every day is very concerning.
Thus, I hereby denounce the murder of Erin Piacenti and whoever let loose those mentally ill people on the streets. You know whom I am referring to.
Given the sensitivity of this matter, updates on urban crime activities will be delayed until next circle.
Today's update is still coming. But I am going to shift the content a bit.
