Something which occurred to me recently, is that my entire philosophy on video games was authored by Sony's old marketing division.
a lot of their old advertising appears to frame video games as an intelligent endeavor, mature, associated with status (attractive actors), promoting curiosity, and completely alien experiences relative to our everyday lives.
Allusions to sex are somewhat intoxicating.
it also makes me wonder about the morality / ethics of these ads.
PlayStation Ethos (the most influential, for me)

From "mental wealth":
"Let me tell you what bugs me of the human endeavor I've never been a human in question, have you? Mankind went to the moon I don't even know where Grimsby is Forget progress by proxy Land on your own moon It's no longer about what they can achieve, out there on your behalf But what we can experience Up here and of our own time It's called mental wealth."
…which is actually a profound message.
i see people trying to emulate Sony's old advertising
