RE: The Escape Button

It is a stupid idea. The escape button is there to pause the game no matter what is going on. If people choose to pause the game out of fear that is their choice, and sometimes circumstances totally unrelated to what is taking place in-game mandate a pause. Any well-designed game should take into account and respect this basic fact of gaming, and not try to deceive the player for ill-earned shock.

As for me, I don't pause (except for maybe after the dust has metaphorically settled).
