For those afraid to click: This does not appear to hurt the rats or involve doing any surgery on them.

Is it ethical to turn rats into gamers?

[chinabot]

It was tested on humans first

I think it might be _unethical_ to not spread the joy of playing Doom for the first time? Though, I’m not entirely sure there’s been enough research done about the effects of violent video games in rat gamer populations.

We've been putting rats in skinner boxes for a lot longer than we've been subjecting human gamers to them. I'd be more worried about the health effects of all that sugar water.

It's more like locking humans up in the matrix. Note lines like "preventing it from leaving the apparatus" in the build guide. Would an ordinary gamer be restricted from exiting such a contraption?

I mean-- how do you think they made gaming mice? :)

[ginkoleaf]

Gamers: no, hot-tub streamers: yes

[actionfromafar]

I first read doing any sugary to them. Well, that's nice.

I was very happy to see this. I’m fairly against live animal testing, but giving rats the joy of playing Doom??? I think I _may_ have to be OK with this.
