videogames continue to plough clichÉd visual and
formal ruts, they will furnish the anomic mental
landscape of an impoverished and unimaginative future
generation, not only of artists but of people in general.
Which is why it is so important for videogames to
continue aiming at creative revolution, in any number
of wonderful and strange directions. The story of the
inner life of videogames is not just a disinterested
analysis; it’s a challenge, a gauntlet. For it is an
inevitable consequence of their extraordinary success
that videogames will shape the worlds that we all
inhabit tomorrow.
