To the contrary. We've no evidence he killed anyone that actually threatened his goal. The people "threatening" it would be the police, government investigators, nosy company employees, etc." The players themselves would not constitute a threat. The nervegear hijacking was a requirement to make his dream a reality. In his mind, it's not a reality if people can up and leave whenever they, or someone on the outside can wish. It's only a reality if it conforms to the basic rules of reality such as "you die when killed", "you can't escape it" and so forth.
So, to his way of thinking, he didn't so much imprison them in a death game, as he kidnapped them away to an alternate reality. Players and people on the outside could have been cautious enough that no one died, and the kill functions he put in place were never used, and he would have been just as happy because he had his reality.
