Fallout 1/2 devs come to mind who had the balls to have kids which could be killed on a player's whim in their games. Even then, some versions of F1/2 had them removed (european releases, IIRC). In a more related and recent title, The Walking Dead from Telltale Games, you Arguably, you're just putting them out of their misery, but it still is a bold move for a modern game developer. That said, I can see why PZ devs don't want kids in their game and I can respect that.
