You are being lied to. Tricked. Deceived and Bamboozled. Surely that’s a bad thing, right? Well not always, video games are constantly tricking you, but keeping you in the dark is integral to the workings of not just the best games but nearly all of them.
The Architect has traveled to the far future, an alternate present and the depths of Hel itself to confront some uncomfortable truths about the way we think about video games, and to shed some light on some very dark secrets. He even came up with a way to talk about XCOM again!
