By contrast, the ordeal that Kayaba subjected people to wasn't even wholly negative. He didn't strip people of their humanity; if anything, he gave them the opportunity to explore it. He didn't cause anybody pain; in fact, he gave them a world where it doesn't even exist. He caused deaths, yes, but almost entirely indirectly - he simply put the players in an unfamiliar world and allowed them to make of it what they chose. With the exception of concealing his identity as Heathcliff (and even that he never intended to last forever), he was never deceitful, cruel or unfair, and consistently treated the players with respect. Personally I've always felt the only truly evil thing Kayaba did was allowing the handful of deaths that occurred at the very beginning, before the people outside the game knew that disconnecting the Nerve Gear would kill the user, and before the people inside the game knew that dying in-game would kill them for real.
