And what on earth do you mean by "plants, players and zombies are killed in this game"?? Why are you even comparing this to the tragedy that has happened where real people have lost their lives?

Perhaps you should think before you say things Brainy. Maybe I didn't understand what you meant, I don't know.

Let's not start strawmanning here. Brainy I understand that this game is about killing. But I still don't understand how this is relevant. Ok, I get it that you play these games to escape the harsh reality and if seeing this thread here depresses you then you can just ignore it you know. Because there are many people who would like to show empathy and compassion for those unfortunate people and it's absolutely ok if they do it here. If you don't thing this isn't the proper place, then you can pay your respects somewhere else (I'd like to know where Brainy).
 * I never said that praying to the dead was a bad thing. I just said that there's a time and place for everything, and this is not the proper place.
 * This is only slated to affect Paris. The US is not in any believed danger, and these tragedies are so damn commonly featured that we might as well make our logo gray every time a natural disaster occurs.
 * What do I mean by that? Are you seriously living under a rock?! This is Plants vs. Freaking Zombies. I'm not even comparing the two, I'm stating that the wiki is about plants killing zombies, zombies killing plants, and zombies killing humans, all of which are done in the most inhumane and cruel methods (gastrointestinal distress, drowning, being bowled over). Has ever occurred to you that I play video games to escape reality? Look at Call of Duty. Look at Grand Theft Auto. You can kill humans in those games, and we (mostly) understand that it's not real life. Why keep two separate areas of life connected?
 * I was thinking before I said stuff. It's clear that your reading comprehension is sub-par.

I'm not saying that changing our logo is an absolute must but just even the smallest things like making a thread and paying respects there is good enough, it shows that people care. And if these tragedies are common then that doesn't make them any less tragic.

And please Brainy, you can't blame me for not understanding, you can't call my reading comprehension sub-par. In fact i wasn't the only person who didn't have a clue what you were talking about. Lets not throw insults at each other. Brainy, I'm only being a friend, I'm TRYING to understand.
