Games and real impact
Do you think video games can realistically change how people think or act, or do most players engage only with surface level mechanics and incentives rather than deeper messages?

I think games can have a real impact, but it often depends on how deeply a player engages with them rather than just playing for rewards. Many players focus on surface level mechanics like progression systems, upgrades, or purchases, but over time certain games still influence decision making, patience, and strategic thinking. In my experience, when interacting with ecosystems around a Last War store I noticed how incentives, scarcity, and long term planning can mirror real world behavior patterns. Even if the message is not always explicit, games can subtly shape habits, priorities, and how people approach problem solving beyond the screen.
