The final time I played GTA San Andreas, I spent that time doing the missions. By the end of my playing time, I had racked up quite a substantial amount of money. Looking back on the game and the missions, the question arises, “Is it right to make money in such a fashion as C.J. does in San Andreas?” In San Andreas, the goal of the game is to make money and get out of the ghetto and off the streets, in order to become a huge figure in the area of San Andreas. However, the means of this include murder, robbery, and other hellacious acts most would deem unethical. Although there are some “good” deeds, including eliminated drug dealers, the character still commits murder in order to do this. San Andreas glorifies wealth in the game. The richer you become, the higher up and more prominent you become in the game. It does not matter how you make the money, as long as it rolls in and there is lots of it. Although it fits directly in with the game play, San Andreas promotes an unethical way of making money through very anti-social and criminal ways. However, that must be taken into account as the title of the game reflects it in “Grand Theft Auto”.
