SAN DIEGO ( Border Report ) — People who play video games, so-called “gamers,” might hold the key to world peace and harmony.
Just ask the San Diego Diplomacy Council, whose mission is to connect the world for greater stability, peace and prosperity. The council is hosting a virtual event showing how video games could be a tool that effectively creates empathy, understanding and bridges between global communities.
He will be joined by Rami Ismail, a Dutch-Egyptian independent games and tool developer with over 20 titles, who advocates for the creation of a fairer and more equal industry for developers everywhere.

Among Us, Minecraft and Animal Crossing: Video gaming during quarantine - The Stanford Daily
When we were one week into the pandemic, my friend Xochilt decided she had finally had enough. She invited me and our other friends, Jack and Hailey, to a Discord server, a chatting platform that allows communities to connect through text and voice channels in real-time.
On our small server, we played video games like Minecraft and Animal Crossing together using the voice channel capabilities. Soon, our small group of four friends expanded to our outer friend group, and later friends of friends. Our server is now made up of 20 other students experiencing similar feelings of loneliness.
OPINION: The video games in our houses – The Bowdoin Orient
For the gaming enthusiasts, Cyberpunk 2077 has been one of the most anticipated titles of the year. Meant to be released in May 2020, it was further delayed to November and then even to December.

For so long, we have tried to think that everything we do must be done for the customer, who is "always right.

Why the PS5 and Xbox Series X need to break the video game mold - CNET
A homogeneous mishmash of styles, camera angles and mechanics. The end of video game history. Third-person, open-world adventures, interspersed with cinematics. Chasing mission markers, punching bad guys, upgrading your gear, leveling up, unlocking new attacks. God of War is more combat-focused, and Horizon has more RPG elements -- but these sliders operate on the same spectrum. The same melody in a different key.

In the last generation of consoles, the majority of big-budget video games played out like Marvel movies. Well-made crowd-pleasers operating within a comfortable set of aesthetics. You could never say that games like Assassin's Creed: Odyssey or Spider-Man were bad, but very few -- even game-of-the-year contenders like God of War -- pushed into any new territory that disassociated players from well-worn expectations.
