Have a gander at "23 Of The Most Fucked-Up Things People Have Done On Rollercoaster Tycoon" ( https://www.buzzfeed.com/michellerennex/yall-evil-af https://www.buzzfeed.com/michellerennex/yall-evil-af ) #10 is particularly "amusing"(?): "I built a huge rollercoaster that would launch the people into my rival's park, increasing their death rate. People didn't want to go to that park because so many people were dying, so they would come over to mine, and go and die in my rival's park." A cornucopia of such postings come up in a casual search.
While I'm not defending the news article (none us can know what really happened) nor do I believe games trigger violent behavior (as an avid gamer, I have ample anecdotal data against it), players can indeed be antisocial (not asocial, antisocial) in games that are not explicitly intended to have violence or other antisocial behavior as part of the gameplay.
- Macha 5y agoI don't remember rollercoaster tycoon having rival parks on the same map as you? I think that one is made up. People on stack exchange seem to agree: https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/122381/was-there-a-rct-scenario-when-you-had-a-compete-with-a-rival-park https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/122381/was-there-...
