Default Mac Game Deletes Files Permanently

Mac Game Deletes Files Permanently

There is a new game out there, designed specifically for the Mac, that intentionally deletes users files. Every time you shoot an alien, the game randomly deletes one of your files. While the "PC" side of me screams "game of the year," the other side of me doesn’t think deleting users files (Mac owner or not) is cool at all.

"Lose/Lose is a video-game with real life consequences. Each alien in the game is created based on a random file on the player's computer. If the player kills the alien, the file it is based on is deleted. If the player's ship is destroyed, the application itself is deleted"
