in the future people in like high school are going to be forced to play and study Grand Theft Auto V for their History classes
because by then video games will be seen as just another form of media, like TV or movies, and will have lost their stigma
and because it's such a photorealistic recreation of real life locations that it's being used to TRAIN SELF DRIVING CARS. it's totally unprecedented in its construction and worldbuilding. not to mention the themes of capitalism and economic downturn.
@vantablack I'm not sure it'll be History
More English Lit. if anything
@0x3F @vantablack History tries to teach the past through fact, English Lit. teaches it through stories
@troubleMoney @vantablack ehh I'm not sure i agree with that. history is written by the winners. fiction is written by the bystanders.
