вЂњRed Dead Redemption 2вЂќ sold 10 million copies in 3 days and lets a player-run free in a huge, and highly detailed map of the old west that is packed with hidden locations which beg one to explore it. The game called вЂњThe Witcher III: Wild HuntвЂќ is branded as a massive open world free for the player to explore and hunt in, and has sold almost 40 million copies, вЂњSkyrimвЂќ a choice-based game that lets the player be whatever they want while exploring a continent-sized map sold 30 million copies. Why now more than ever are video games so popular? A clue exists when one looks at the type of game that sells the best. While there are some who I am sure fit this description, the vast majority of вЂњGamersвЂќ are everyday people, married, single, with kids and without. A stereotype exists of a loner white male, in his parentвЂ™s basement hunched in front of a video game, eating chips and inhaling energy drinks who rarely ever sees the sun or friends. Many ask why video games are so popular and many members of past generations may see them as a waste of time that could be used for вЂњMore productiveвЂќ things (Please donвЂ™t think I am holding in contempt these older generations as I am not). The video game market in 2020 will be worth over $90 billion dollars and video games are played by over 2.5 billion people worldwide, with 59% of вЂњGamersвЂќ being male.

For three days, one of the worldвЂ™s leading-edge company released groundbreaking new technologies and showcased never-before-seen video games to a packed convention center, and to the tens of thousands watching online.

Perhaps you have heard the term вЂњGentleman of FortuneвЂќ, it is an old term, which means according to the Dictionary вЂњAn adventurerвЂќ its origin is thought to be in the 1880s and referred to the pirates, explorers, sailors and adventurers who sailed and lived in the Golden Age of Piracy. The wild and untamed world beckons and calls to us, something in us that longs for adventure and to see that which has never been seen before by the eyes of man. This has much been the attitude of humans and especially Americans for much of our history.
