A few issues with this:
1. My understanding is that this has been widely theorized and fairly well researched, and most people have concluded that there's no relationship.
2. I don't understand why a rampage would cause the stock price of an insurance company to go up. You could argue that in the long-run, living in a town with regular rampages might encourage people to buy more insurance, but one would think that in the short term all of those payouts would be really bad for the insurance company.
- scarecrowbob 13y agoNot that I've played the game, just skimming comments but here's a possibility: although the game focuses on a single character and thus makes the actions of that character carry supreme importance, in the larger context the actual effect isn't that great compared to the average. However, the media effect in the context of the game would probably be pretty fantastic, in effect creating free marketing for the company. At least, that's how news media plays into things like that where I am living.
