Does using games for combat training violate tos

So I was reviewing the code of conduct and it said don’t do anything that could lead to physical harm or something like that. But does that mean combat training isn’t allowed? Or is it referring to things such as active gang violence and other stuff.

    Never noticed that. It's a strange one. Strictly speaking if you're playing any number of shooting games you're basically combat training. So how will they determine if what you're doing is combat training? They probably need to write that for legal reasons. If you're playing Tactical Assault for example, you're not going to be picking flowers or doing the cooking.😂 Of course playing games should not lead to anything beyond the make believe. I imagine a lot of games in that sector have a similar statement.

      Yeah, also even though I am training to be better at combat, it doesn’t mean I’m going to cause some unwarranted mass shooting.

      But I’m taking it you are saying, that combat training is allowed as it is not specifically listed and practically unenforceable, but you suggest that games shouldn’t lead to anything outside of the space. Am I getting this correct?

        I'm not really saying anything as I don't really know. Lol. I'm only giving an opinion. I imagine every battle game has this warning anyway.  I never read terms and conditions ! Obviously the games are for entertainment purposes only .  My advice  just play the game as you normally play. It doesn't allow you to do more than that anyway.  Don't sweat it. Just enjoy the VR experience. 😁
