Please read the whole discussion, RAM. No one is trying to claim that predators have never hunted humans. Rather we're trying to say that, if you want to make a realistic ecosystem and survival game, making predators more vicious as the game progresses is actually the exact opposite of real life. While there are always outliers such as those man-eating lions, the vast majority of wild predatory animals stay well clear of humans as much as possible. Despite our lack of sharp fangs or claws, we're still a species of rather large and strong animals and we have tools to help us kill any threats.

The RPG trope of packs of angry wolves attacking villages regardless of their own losses is almost certainly based entirely in fiction.

That's the thing though, humanity never spent much time as prey. Not after we hit the hunter-gatherer stage, anyway.

In the context of realism, why would the predators get more vicious over time?

Normally the West Coast is pretty sweet, but on the other hand we have to wait longer for our game releases. Damn you, time zones!

Spent an hour and a half directly controlling my elite troops, trying to stealthily take out these German patrols and machine gun nests. Half the squad got wiped out along with both medics by a nebelwerfer and eventually I was down to just one man, a sniper. He infiltrated further into enemy territory than any of my other units until eventually he was surrounded inside a structure by more than a dozen German soldiers. He managed to light his bundle of TNT, meant for the enemy's motor pool, the instant before he was shot to death. It detonated on the first floor in the center of the building, blowing through all the floors and knocking a hole in the roof of the three story structure, killing or wounding everyone in the street outside.

At least he went out with a bang.

So uh. It doesn't look like it's been mentioned on the last page or so but Danganronpa got ported to PC. Apparently they're planning to port the sequel as well.

My impression is that it's sort of a VN, which definitely get mentioned in this thread from time to time, so I figure I'll go ahead and post the news here.
