Modern Warfare 2 caught me by surprise. I mean, I knew it was big, even to casual gamers, but even my professor talked about getting it. How did it build up such great momentum to get even non-gamers talking about it like it was the next big thing? Just good P.R.? I do not know, but what I do know is that nothing on…

I have thought about this before, and I think it is more about reality being present in games than capitalism. The rudiments of a capitalist system are in most games I have played where you need to buy anything, but I do not think that was explicitly done by the creator, or even subconsciously put in because that is…
