Anyone who makes the erroneous claim that videogames are all about ‘escapism’ probably hasn’t powered on their game console in several years. We’re always online now, our activities broadcast to whoever cares to look. The theory is that we want to be social, that we’re entirely happy with being reachable no matter where we are or what we’re doing. Why else would we carry mobile phones with us at all times?
