Do you believe video games can do this sort of satire effectively? And if so, what games?
Personally, what immediately comes to mind is Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, Bioshock, Hotline Miami, and more recently CounterSpy. All of the previously mentioned including some hilarious, pretty brilliant stuff in my opinion.
Also, do you think that in the future video games having this kind of satire can and will provide a significant and interesting lense for viewing and analyzing the current cultural and social climate, specifically games like GTAs IV and V set in and made for the era in which they were developed? This might just sound like crazy-talk at this point, but do you think it's possible kind of thing could even be incorporated into historical education eventually?
Let's discuss maybe.
