Things like murder, theft and adultery hurt your fellow humans. That's the essence of sin and it applies to everyone equally.
Sin is not about whether someone is hurt. A deadly Sin like pride doesn't hurt anyone.
Your driving faster than the speed limit didn't hurt someone either.

If we go back to the orginal question: "Does killing people in a Video shooter is a Sin?". Obviously the video game characters aren't fellow human beings. pdnewbie seems to mean something different when he ask: "Is it sinful?"

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
