Gamer Theory

I can see the paralells between gaming and real life. I agree that you can tell a lot about society by looking at its art. Obviously games are products for the society that created them so there is some taking in of the society they are intended for which sheds light on that society. But what about games designed abroad? Recently there has been a divorcing of the yes-no paradigm for a more vast game space which is mirroed by our societies embracing more and more options for just about everything. However, I don't believe that games wholly illuminate the world that gave rise to them, they just aid in our understanding. I reject the videos games as a sole approach theory. I have one big problem: since differnt games obviously provide differnt views of the world we have to find the common variables? This seems problematic. Which aspects are most important? This also tries to prescribe one neat and tidy view of a society that is clearly fractured and not unified.
