So read a bit about Bing Gordon and found his take on games to be interesting. In his mind, he viewed them as learning experiences; something that you could take and apply in life. Learning about things and other people through play is in his opinion is the best way of teaching. He even claimed that social interaction between kids internationally is better that their relationship with their parents because of game interaction.He defined games as an escape that people use to get away from some issues in life as controlling parents or something that you can identify with to define yourself.
Gordon is a big name in the game industry and was actually a founder of Electronic Arts(back when they were good). He took part in the design and marketing of many franchises, including John Madden Football, The Sims, Sim City, Need for Speed, Tiger Woods Golf, Club Pogo and Command and Conquer.He studied drama and literature and was the recipient of the 2011 Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences Lifetime Achievement Award.
