I believe his intention was to allow those who have never experienced true freedom the opportunity of self-exploration and expression within an open "sandbox."
I question the term sandbox and its applicability, however. True, as time marches on, many of those video games do become more open-ended, but if they're truly sandboxes, I believe they require more sand.
And I'd go so far as to argue that a sandbox isn't truly open! It has barriers. Restrictions. Even if you wet the sand, there's only so much you can do with it.
But I digress.
While we could enforce rules more heavily, it becomes a question of where we draw the line. Perhaps if the collective community could agree upon certain rules and restrictions, we could come to an amenable agreement.
