Plenty of gays and interchangeable man/woman characters lately. Also there’s a growing industry of female targeted games, mostly lame romantic adventures.

Video games are economically a major media form, but are only beginning to be culturally recognised as such, and are therefore not subject to elite oversight. In ten years, will the industry will be as on-message as Hollywood? (which is to say, not 100%, but overwhelmingly).

I enjoy good science fiction, and I enjoy good literature, but the intersection of the two is very small.

Come on.

There’s at least a dozen decent sf books every year, and a couple of good ones too.

This makes it possible to conduct diplomacy, spying, strategy, leadership, propaganda, etc. in “real” terms within the context of the game.

EVE Online seems to be an ersatz Enders Game style simulator. If I was the Atlas Corporation, the top tier players of EVE-style games would seem to be an obvious target for recruitment for operating swarms of robotic drones in the real world.
