Valve: Game Can Never Have Moral Choices

Description
Games such as Bioshock and inFAMOUS have been touting "moral choice" as a key element, but Valve's Chet Faliszek believes that moral choices can never exist in a game.

"There's never a real moral choice you're ever making in a game, because you're never going to have to live with that choice," he explained. "We do things in our game to get you to behave better, to make you play together, to have this interaction in a game, but I don't think those are moral choices. I don't think games allow you to make moral choices. Games allow you to be evil, to do bad things. In Grand Theft Auto, I'm going around running people over, and guess what, I'm not doing that in real life."

"So, in the context of games having moral choices, that's a weird thing to me. I don't think they have real moral choices when I think of that. They have something else, like strategic choices, choices inside their world, but to me a moral choice is something that would live outside of a game. I don't see that."
