"Video games are ingrained in our culture," as once stated by Entertainment Software Association president and CEO Michael Gallagher, "our industry's unprecedented leaps in software and hardware engages and inspires our diverse global audience." From Spacewar! and Pong, to The Last of Us and Splatoon, no matter the genre, video games bring people together. With over 155 million Americans playing video games (Campbell), and today's online capabilities, people are able to stay connected with one another from anywhere in the world. Video games are a medium for different ideas, expressions, and opinions. Each game, no matter how simple, can bring about discussion, thought, or critique. Every game has an audience. Every game has a purpose. Every game is a medium with complexities that many do not give it credit for.
