The Roots of Justice in the Wild West and Beyond
In the lawless expanses of the Wild West, formal legal systems often faltered, giving rise to private enforcement mechanisms that shaped frontier society. At the heart of this era stood bounty hunting—a practice born from frontier mythology, moral ambiguity, and the urgent need for justice where the rule of law was thin or absent. This tradition, deeply rooted in historical reality, evolved into a powerful narrative device in modern video games, most notably in Bullets And Bounty, where tracking, engagement, and monetizing justice become central gameplay and storytelling pillars.
