I first just wanted to say thank you to you, Travis, Laura and everyone at Sucker Punch for Infamous Second Son. Not just for the amazing game but, for me on a personal level; I lost my mum suddenly in April and was playing Second Son at the time. If I hadn't had my ps4 and such an immersive game to play to distract me from losing someone I loved as well as a release from caring for my younger brother and Father, I'm scared to think where I would be right now. I'm forever grateful to you, the characters and the story of Fetch, Delsin, Eugene and Reggie.
My question.
Do you think video games have the power to change people's mind sets? The Infamous series are, to me, games that show what it's like to be an outcast in the place you call home. Not saying politicians are going to listen to video games but at least in gamers psyches, do you think issues like homosexuality, race, immigration can be tackled in games to try to influence social change? Especially outside of western culture?
Keep doing what your doing. Love the album too :D Take care.
