gollark: CEOs *probably* won't let *that many* people die to make their game more popular.
gollark: Well, you could be injured and not be able to heal it as easily as modern medicine could.
gollark: Modern life is... pretty safe, I guess, we have things like "medicine" and "policing" and "civilization". Games patterned off some older world and where conflict is a key mechanic are *not*.
gollark: ... yes?
gollark: Yes, you said that, but that's a significant risk.
