Thompson explores this connection through several games of different genres, stories, and gameplay. He says that games, in order to really connect on an empathetic level with their players, need to force the players to live the lives of others and face the consequences of lasting choices the player must make. He praises games like ‘The Walking Dead,’ (specifically its ‘400 Days’ episode), because it requires the player to live the life of someone other than themselves, possibly the life of someone completely unlike themselves, and to create outcomes dependent…

Nonetheless, many of the characters constantly struggle to keep up with these responsibilities because of the difficulties in keeping their personal and professional lives apart.…

Steinbeck though manages to give Jim Casey the exact initials as the biblical savior, Jesus Christ. Coincidence? I think not. Steinbeck is a Stanford graduate and a very intelligent man who voices his opinion without worrying about what his critics will think. I believe he knew exactly what he was doing.…
