"Hey all, thanks for your interest and comments with regard to the exhibiiton. We have placed a FAQ on the voting stie to further explain the intent of the exhibition. I also thought I would drop a little clarity here:
This exhibition is not about any individual title but, rather, an examination of the evolution of the form, over time, through the lens of 4 genres that are anchored by twenty systems. The goal here is to have the public better understand how technology, storytelling, social reflection, all conspire in the service of game creation.
