In the past, a lot of films based on video games think that the audience wants to experience what it's like to play the game, and that's absolutely not the case.

Games have a huge impact on our society because the media plays a role in helping to shape our attitudes. So it's not just fantasy.

As a genre, videogames take our minds on journeys, and we can control and experience them much more interactively than passively - especially when they are well-designed.

The video game market is huge, and the ability to tell stories, and tell different kinds of stories in the gaming space is quickly evolving and changing for the better.

The thing with videogame characters is that they tend to be really undercooked, and people don't take the time to really flesh them out. They don't treat them with the respect that a writer writing characters in any other medium would treat their character.

Every age has its storytelling form, and video gaming is a huge part of our culture. You can ignore or embrace video games and imbue them with the best artistic quality. People are enthralled with video games in the same way as other people love the cinema or theatre.

While films are a very visual and emotional artistic medium, video games take it one step further into the realm of a unique personal experience.

Entertainment works by withholding content with the purpose of increasing its value. And, when you think about it, those two are just vastly different approaches, but they can be bridged.

Consumers are freeing up an enormous amount of time that they were spending with stereotypical old media, and clearly, that time is going primarily two places: videogames and online.

All video games are games, obviously. They're designed. They're digital. They have rules; they give an audience some type of vicarious experience.
