NYT - video games as cultural artifacts
Once again, I am struck by how much information a simple photo and headline can convey. In this case, the article discusses a move by a group of designers, academics, and journalists to create a "best of" list of video games - arguing that the emerging medium is important to understand and preserve. What I find much more interesting is the unstated reality implied (inscribed, whatever) by this image: the gaming industry is dominated by white men.
Sigh.
Sigh.
