I wonder if there will become a time where the popularity of modern games starts to change due to the events of real life.
If humans terraformed Mars next month, would the game still appeal in the same way?
If World War 3 started, involving the same countries as World War 2, would Quartermaster General become unplayable?
It’s interesting to think of theme as an escape and to question what happens if it becomes a reality.
