What does that have to do with it? That they sold well doesn't affect the fact they're not games for the masses like those for consoles. They've always been niche games for the FPS PC market.
Maybe you do not know the meaning of the word "quite".
There is a lot of Buddhist thinking on morals, for example, or Muslim.
This doesn't invalidate what I said. Buddhism and Islam are both religion, which both define their own set of morals.
Your second sentence also implies that atheists are immoral, which is inconsistent with my observations on the subject, and pretty much everything I've read (such as that atheists are underrepresented in prisons).
This is irrelevant. First, not all atheists recognize their Christian-culture bias and acknowledge that morality is an arbitrary thing that varies according to culture or religion. And even those that do do not instantly become stupid to the point of going to prison. The rules of the state may be arbitrary, but as a citizen you would be ill-advised to not respect them.
The themes developed in the "mature" games have the depth of a teen novel. It's not really for adults unless they're content with mediocre mass-produced content.
Clearly your knowledge of C++ is very limited. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't hit at least 10 bugs of Visual C++.
I am part of the standards committee of the C++ language and I chat with the Microsoft employees in charge of Visual C++ development and its standard library from time to time. They're fallen behind a lot, but they recently made a couple of good hires that might help them get back into the game.
That's irrelevant. Calling a function takes virtually no time. That's not the hard part of progamming. Maybe you only do how to write glue code instead of how to engineer software?
Clearly you're a kid or a student. Try doing something productive with your summer instead. Like actually using your computer to do real things. Oh right, that requires Linux.
gdb is easier to use and much more powerful than the Visual Studio debugger. When I'm on Windows, I personally use GDB or WinDbg. Visual Studio is an unusable mess.

The only impairment that GTA can give to your kid is wanting to be a gangsta.
The cost of the medication doesn't really affect the tax rate. What's costly is the infrastructure, the personnel and the inefficient administration.
Clearly you haven't been in a country with a modern health system, like France or the scandinavian countries.
Why is price relevant?
Isn't your government paying for the medication?
Oh right, you live in the US...
One or two 3-million sales games from five years ago are not quite enough to launch a game console.
What does that have to do with it?

All games with no appeal to the masses.
I never could quite tell the difference between black, hispanic, and redneck cultures.

The white characters are still pretty much "wiggers".
And they are quite right in that.
Morality is no different from religion.
It's a compromise.
Disconnecting the mouth from the breathing system would have its own issues.
How many people have Latin spell-checking installed?
The funny thing is that GTA V is the only franchise where all of the above apply.
GTA simply reeks of black gangsta culture. You'd need to have pretty shit taste to like it.
Some people have taste, you know

Completion actually makes you slower. It adds latency to your environment, and it simply doesn't scale to large software projects.
I suppose you also buy junk food and drink soda.
It takes years to engineer good software.
It takes a few hundred milliseconds to write a function name.

Having found a hack to approximate the reciprocal square root hardly makes him a reference in the matters of software development.
Video games are clearly targeted at kids.
The only games that are targeted at adults are japanese video games, and they're usually on consoles.
