Right Livelihood, as stated in the :Vanijja Sutta
>"Monks, a lay follower should not engage in five types of business. Which five? Business in weapons, business in human beings, business in meat, business in intoxicants, and business in poison."
Could I argue that video games are intoxicants that allow players to escape from reality? Could one also say the video game maker is an adrenaline seller?(genre dependent)
If I make a game with simulated weapon usage against other humans, is that business in weapons? Or is it harmless fun?
