Are video games considered a piece of digital humanity? In my opinion I believe that it is. Throughout the class we have come across a variety of pieces that involve interactive fiction. So with video games, a majority of them are a fiction and you do have to interact with them. For example, the game Fallout 4 which has just released this past November. In this game you come across very situations where you are given options when speaking to someone. Sometimes you have the option to lie, tell the truth, let some go, kill them, the list just goes on for days. But with each decision you make, it effects the story line in some type of way which is why I love this game. With digital humanities, it isn’t just interacting with whatever it may be. Digital humanities take a lot of things into accountability for example, there being a story line to it only being able to be done digitally and not much physically. And with video games you really can’t make them “real” it’s only seen through a TV, portable system or your laptop and that’s just like the pieces that we have been observing all semester.

                History is major in digital humanity as well when it comes to archives. There are various games out there that were based off of real life situations in the past. For example, Assassins Creed. That game focuses a lot on a lot of digital archives of the past that you virtually get to experiences and play out. So to answer the question I truly believe that video games can be considered a digital humanity just based off it is everything that we have been doing in class, just in a more interactive way.
