Civilization (the video game series) is 30 years old, and they posted a trailer to Youtube.
I found it… sort of disgustingly delusional? Like, I like the Civilization series a lot; I’ve put thousands of hours into the games. But:
Your deeds are legendary, and across the world, throughout the internet, everyone shall hear of you. … You are more than a turn taker; you shape the world.
I think there’s something good about strategy games in helping you see through different lenses, develop mental flexibility and systems thinking, and learn to see like a state, and so on. But this is not that! This is saying that, by playing a game of Civilization, you actually become a world leader (or, at least, a famous gamer)? What a pathetic lie.
