THEY'RE JUST VIDEO GAMES
Massimiliano "Save a Gamer" Stazi
Video games are the most complex, richest, most elaborate form of play that humanity has ever developed. They contain entire worlds, economic systems, narrative structures, and cognitive challenges. They are the natural evolution of something humanity has been doing since its existence: building imaginary spaces in which to experiment, learn, and connect with others.
"But come on! They’re just video games” is a phrase every gamer has heard at least once in their life, usually taking it with a resigned attitude. These words, often spoken by parents and institutions, stem from misguided preconceptions that have denied video games the artistic value (among other things) they deserve. Massimiliano Stazi, aka Save a Gamer, is here to challenge these preconceptions, both online and in print. Through unexpected stories of gamers, developers, and video games that have helped change and improve the world (both virtually and in reality), he takes us on a journey through the decades and through some of the most-played video games of all time, showing us how far they are from being merely “pastimes for children."
