You know I'm thinking that if super heroes etc. were real you'd still have kind of the same deal, where we play the kind of games that let us be who we really want to be, where we want to be. If there were real superheroes jetting about, perhaps they would have a role similar to sport stars and celebrities today. Then, perhaps we would still have the same kinds of games in a way, but the superhero game (now real world based) would be delivered & received in a similar fashion to the way sports games (real world for us) are delivered & received. By that I mean, the games would still give you the chance to step into the shoes of the people you envy and / or look up to. Perhaps then, if life on earth was as extraordinary as in some of our games, our games would take us further out of our own world, to life / existence beyond 'earth', forcing us to stretch our imagination as to what other possibilities might exist.
