Practicalities/Ethical Issues

An ethical issue I may face with my video game is the influence it may have on my audience/players. My video game will feature a lot of violence such as gore and killing. To avoid a negative impact towards my audience (especially young people), I'm thinking of replacing the blood to black dust. By doing this, I avoid any disturbing imagery featured in my video game. Moreover, I have considered that consumers may see my game promoting animal cruelty with the violence it contains. I think I might have to include a disclaimer of that assumption in the beginning of my video game.
