They can get upset if something goes sour in the game, but understand that Simulation games replicate real life, and as in life not everything happens to your liking. They will never commit murder over a game. They are however really into realism when it comes to a game, and will be upset if a game is not up to it. They will however buy the game
and try their best to MOD or Modify the game to best represent RL. They have average life styles, most players of Naval/Sub Sims and Flight Sims are either current or retired naval service man or pilots. They are also somewhat of a paradox. They do not to pay a large amount on the average SIM game, but some will buy the ultra realism games for upwards of $300. This paradox stems from their undying search for realism. The main paradox is their systems. They play on ONLY high end systems, with the latest parts; willing to drop $2000+ into a computer but no more than lets say $50 on a game.
You are making several subjective statements but not citing them.

These are just two examples in your post where you made a subjective statement but did not provide any supporting evidence. As you advance in academics, this is a big no-no

You might want to check the definition of Paradox.

What is your thesis topic for this paper? Even an informative paper needs a thesis statement.

Good luck with it.
