Contemporary videogame culture is stupendously subversive. Leading franchises like Half Life, Grand Theft Auto, Max Payne, Metal Gear Solid, and Final Fantasy are creating tremendous works of art, which both entertain, critique neoliberalism, and teach about alternatives in profoundly progressive ways, all at the same time. Like any culture industry, gaming has its share of dross, but game artists are achieving things unimaginable in any other medium right now.
