Lets keep this in perspective folks - it's only a computer game (albeit one of the most brilliant and most eagerly awaited games on the planet). Consider the following as an example of the need for frustrating patience in the face of tragedy ...
quote:
1922: Children dying from diabetic ketoacidosis were kept in large wards, often with 50 or more patients in a ward, mostly comatose. Grieving family members were often in attendance, awaiting the (until then, inevitable) death.
In one of medicine's more dramatic moments, Banting, Best, and Collip went from bed to bed, injecting an entire ward with the new purified extract. Before they had reached the last dying child, the first few were awakening from their coma, to the joyous exclamations of their families.
