Beyond effects of fashion or generation, video games invest our lives.
Video games are multiplying in our professional lives (customer relations, training, management), social networks and our daily lives (even toothbrushes and cars!).
As Nietzsche already said, “every man (man and woman!) Hides in him a child who wants to play”.
The commitment they generate is a powerful tool that we are learning to use more and more.
How does video games transform our lives? Will our near future be a video game society?
