"Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" is more Educational than any Video Game Advertised to be Educational

However, I still have reason to believe that Con is still a bit misguided. My opponent states that "missions" within the game force the player to commit acts that would be illegal and wicked in reality, and that the player is rewarded for committing these acts. This is untrue, as I have stated and proved in the previous round. The entire game can be completed without doing any of the missions, and all of the rewards obtained from completing the missions can be earned without having to commit heinous acts such as killing cops. (1)(2) In fact, the entire game can be completed without killing anyone. (1)(2) Not only can all the benefits given to the player by winning the in-game missions be awarded to the player without doing anything morally questionable, the player can also receive exclusive rewards for doing benevolent things for his city, such as playing mini-games where the player works as a firefighter or a ambulance driver. (1)(2)(3)(4)(5) The rewards obtained by doing these acts are completely exclusive, unlike those obtained by doing the missions. This means that the player can only obtain these rewards by being morally "good", while the rewards awarded by the missions Con referred to can be awarded by either being evil or entering a code. (4)(5) Ergo, there are other things to do in GTA: SA than shoot people; a player can be a firefighter, police officer, ambulance driver, or valet operator. (3)(4)(5) Con himself stated that "The Sims" does not present itself as an educational game, and nor does it advertise itself as one. The resolution clearly stated that a game that is advertised as educational must be presented and proven as more educational than GTA: SA. While Con may interpret his game to be more educational than GTA: SA, he concedes to the fact that it was not advertised to be educational, making it unable to coexist with the resolution. Con's game does not even match his definition for an educational game, which was not cited, as a side note. "An electronic medium with all the characteristics of a gaming environment that have intended educational outcomes targeted at specific groups of learners" was the definition Con gave for an educational game. However, Con has admitted that "The Sims" was not advertised as educational, ergo, it does not target a specific group of learners. Con appears to assume that because a game that is not advertised as educational exceeds GTA: SA in educational value within his own mind, an educational game would logically surpass GTA: SA in educational value. To further illustrate the thought process, Con believes that because his game, which is not advertised as educational, has more educational value than another game which is also not advertised as educational, a game advertised as educational is, by default, more educational than GTA: SA. This leads me to believe that Con assumes that because a game is advertised as educational, it is innately more educational than a game not advertised as educational. This abomination of logic has no basis in fact, and shows that Con does not understand that the purpose of this argument was to prove that a non-educational game can be more educational than a game advertised as educational. In conclusion, Con's claims that the game rewards players for violence and that wicked acts are inevitable while playing the game are false. The game Con suggested to be more education than GTA: SA has been proven to not even match his own definition for an educational game, ergo, because the game was not advertised as educational, it can not be used to negate the resolution. The benefits of GTA: SA I listed in round one still stand and have yet to be disproven, and Con has yet to even suggest a game that is advertised as educational and surpasses my game in educational value, making myself the undeniable victor. A vote for Pro is encouraged. (1) . http://en.wikipedia.org... (2) . http://www.gamefaqs.com... (3) . http://gta.wikia.com... (4) . http://gta.wikia.com... (5) . http://gta.wikia.com...
