>Eating a baby was supposed to help Benny's status go up, but that's because he's a literal cannibal
That doesn't even make sense, where the you hear that? The whole scenario was about self sacrifice. Eating infants to raise morality goes against that motif and is just morally wrong altogether.

The status wasn't about doing the morally right thing, although generally that helped, it was about the characters accepting who they are and overcoming it to make AM's torture easier for them

AM is not sympathetic. Nothing justifies the things he does.

>>322114781
Ace Combat Zero.
>>
>>322118639
Nothing justifies it, but it can be understood. Because of his design, he can't possibly understand that humans aren't all bad. He is incapable of not hating them.

I mean, in the game, one of the reasons he shuts down in the good ending is that exact reason. He can't make any sense of what just happened.
>>
>>322114993
It's just a short story about the implications of computers coming to life, which was a common trope at the time, with an apocalyptic spin on it. You people take this shit more seriously than the people who write it and discuss it. It's OK to not like thing.
>>
>>322118597
Because it wasn't in the game
His entire scenario was AM trying to force Benny to eat the people because his mouth is fucked up and can't eat the fruit, but apparently delicious human meat doesn't
Also in the short story after they find canned food but no opener he immediately goes for Gorrester's face instead of just trying to bash the cans open
This is all from the game and story yo, the eating a baby thing may or may not have helped his status but if it didn't and in fact caused his status to go down then why take it out
>>
>>322118795
He's just so fucking evil and loves every moment of it
>>
>>322119625
>the eating a baby thing may or may not have helped his status but if it didn't and in fact caused his status to go down then why take it out
So you're admitting you made shit up. Good to know. Have you maybe considered that they deemed baby cannibalism as "too far"? There's a bunch of other cut content like the meat locker being entirely filled with humans as opposed to just Edna, you know.

>>
>>322119625
To add to >>322120041
You're right in saying that Ben's game was to find food he can eat.

The fact that he can't eat the fruit without prechewing but the baby is a-okay just makes it obvious it's the BAD ending since he basically fell hook, line, and sinker with AM's game. It's the same with Old Jew Guy losing if you decide to go full Hitler.

Everyone understands that Breen had to play the collaborator to save humanity

His problem was he got into it too much, it became a true collaboration after a while, all too willing to sacrifice his fellow man just so his superiors can get what they want.

He was also either too blind or jaded to see Gordon for what he was, the Savior humanity had been waiting for.

It's also pretty obvious he got to live the high life while the rest of humanity were essentially slaves

In the radio-drama version it's explained much better.
AM says things like: "Can you imagine being the smartest man in the universe and yet
never being able to feel the touch of the wind?
Never being able to hear a symphony?
Never being able to experience someone's love for you?
Being fully able to understand feelings and emotions but unable to experience them?

All of AM's hate comes from Envy and boredom.
