If I had, say, 2 million dollars - enough to buy a nice house with some land, the car I want, all the gadgets and gizmos and furniture and skis and golf clubs and whatever other crap I want, and use the rest to invest so that I'll be financially secure for the rest of my life - I'd say, "this is enough."
I don't get the undermining of society greed thing, either.
$2 million, by comparison, would be nothing. Nowhere near enough to be on their level money-wise.
If they survive this, we'll see if they mellow out a bit and get to where they need to be. The gameplay itself and the basic idea seems solid, they just need to change a few things and fix a few more.

On the bright side, if this happens, he may get to see the prosecutor again!

There was a similar question like this brought up in my philosophy class, only from a real life situation that actually happened.
There was this baby that was born without any nervous system or something like that, don't remember what it was exactly. I just know they had no brain function so could not think or even do anything and was going to die after 3 days or so regardless of what any doctors would do to try and help them survive, it was impossible. They were guaranteed to die.
In the same hospital, there were a few babies that would've been better off with some transplants that they could've gotten by killing that baby off earlier. Wouldn't have felt a thing either.
The parents were okay with doing this, but the hospital refused to allow it on the grounds that it would've been immoral, despite the fact that the baby would've died anyway. They were claiming some bull like God's will has a purpose for keeping this kid alive for these few days, he is still an innocent life that should be allowed to live, killing is wrong no matter what, and all this crap. Even though, again, the baby was going to die anyway and could've been used to save multiple other babies.
In the end, they didn't kill the baby, it died, and the others weren't saved.
If you ask me, the immoral decision in both this case and yours would be to NOT kill the baby.
Any Unreal Tournament game. The original 1999 GOTY one is still my favorite FPS game out there, even if the graphics are dated. They're nowhere near modern looking, yet more than definitely bearable and actually rather decent considering when it came out.
There's that one for the PS2 I believe, and a few more updated ones for the PC. Or Unreal Tournament 3 for the 360 and PS3, which I believe has online play, as well as offline deathmatch (rather than just having the story mode).
