Video games influence modern Hispanic values
September 15, 2008This isn’t so much about video games as it is about the story of one Latina woman living in San Antonio, TX. However, I did want to mention it because it’s a good story and is though-provoking. How could video games influence Hispanic, or any other cultures, in the future? As a new form of expression, how long before “Call of Duty” moves away from WW2 and maybe goes into the battle of the Alamo because Hispanic devs (a minority at best) one day are in charge? I stray greatly from the article itself, but that’s sort of where my mind went as I read this success story.
Here’s a portion of the article:

His 4-year-old sister, Courtney, sways back and forth on the swing set in the fenced backyard, while his father, Gilbert, 39, warms up pasta for dinner.
