In some ways, this moment can be seen as a corny Aesop delivery. Hideo Kojima capped off Metal Gear Solid 2 with a profound speech about how art matters to humanity. Instead, I’m highlighting one moment in video game storytelling that explains why games support our future. It’s obvious that this site and its community are always pro-games, but we support them for so many reasons we’d be here all day if we just put those reasons into a listicle. Yet other outlets cycle between praising and demonizing them. I mean, you’re on a video game website, you probably wouldn’t be reading this if you weren’t interested in video games. Most of us are already intimately familiar with that fact.

Creative mediums are powerful tools, especially video games.
