Why are game developers so stupid

So I'm playing Last of Us and enjoying it for the most part. The graphics are great. The game play is smooth and interesting. The music is nothing special, but sets the atmosphere well. My beef is with the limited understanding of reality by the game developers. The young girl in the gamee, Ellie is obscene, and disrespectful of her elders. And for somee reason, with next to no experience in life she is somehow endowed with a deeper understanding of life than Joel, the adult. An adult female at the beginning of the game is extremely violent which is such an unrealistic portrayal of women. Do the game developers think that they are being 'progressive' by living in a delusion. What do you think? Also, the game developers leave it up to Ellie, the young girl  to decide whether there is a heaven or not. And of course she selfconfidentally says she doesn't think so. So according to the game deveelopers there is no point to life. Life is crap, we live and die, and that's it. This is the shallowest, unthoughtful point of view that I can imagine. There is no rational reason to believe this point of view. And there is no reason given to support this nihilism. So are game developers good at graphics and stupid at life. What do you think?

First, while I haven't played that game, I agree and have seen it in other things.  I think it is a coming experience in entertainment, and seems persuasive. 

Did you watch 'Super 8.'   It's supposed to be kids, but the talk and act like University Graduate students, not at all like children.  I remember one section in last Transformer's movie where people were over acting so much I thought it was either a dream or the director must really live in a world where a waiter getting his meal wrong is the most horrible thing he could imagine.  It was just unrealistic and odd.

There are many stories that have been forgotten.  Even the great classics have weak points, many of these will be forgotten.  You are just seeing the ‘culling’ going on before your eyes.
