I saw the
Ted talks with Jean McGonial and her case on how games could improve real world
issues. She goes on a states her case by bringing up examples of certain games
that create a type of online connectivity were players help each other on
missions. This is important asset to solve problems that the real world has. She
states four points; blissful productivity, social fabric, urgent optimism, and
epic meaning. These four points that she stated are very positive to the game
community, because this is why people play games. She also created three games
the let the players solve real world issues as a type of game simulator.
I
agree with some of her main points that games are important and they do subconsciously
make players play with the idea of her four points. I believe that we need to
have and actual live game that will help solve some of our main issues in our
society. My idea is to play a game were a lot of people fight poverty by racing
around different areas where there is homeless, and feed them etc. If these
games were live and actually helped out while people were playing it would make
her idea and concept stronger.
