      Still though, being shot at because they can take one look at you and know you're in the life. You're just as dead whether the bullet was intended for you or not. Can't spend all that gas tax from a coffin. And that's if you're lucky enough to end up in a coffin in a real grave instead of a swiftly dug hole on some anonymous roadside.

      It goes further than that.
      They know that games aren't to blame. They also know that we have way too many damn guns out there, and that enacting better gun laws would help save countless lives,
      However,
      That would mean losing precious NRA money, as well as losing the support of their brainwashed, gun-loving supporters.
      The lives of thousands upon thousands on innocent school kids mean nothing to them - especially when money is involved.

    Vito doesn't become a made man until later, plus this is the 20s-30s not the 70s so the heist with the irish simultaneously pulling up makes sense according to Michael. I also believe Vito learns to lockpick prior to the gas stamp chapter, making it possible for him to get into that vault. Idk if I'm mixing that last part up with mafia 1 though or with car picklocking.

    I think the reason why a lot of it is "unrealistic" is mainly for the players enjoyment. Cause the thing with a lot of these "action" games is that you always have to have that action available. So being able to just attack anyone at any time or swarms of cops chasing you gives the player that enjoyment/fun factor.
