We put it together with Barry Joseph, who has worked in many contexts to empower children to achieve this. This list of games offers space for players to develop a sense of civic identity. Games give children a chance to try out taking public action within society for the greater good. Our civic identity comes from situating oneself within a larger group, often committing oneself to public action. Civics is the study of the rights and obligations of citizens in society. Games can develop a deep sense of civic identity. However, many video games choose to focus players on a wider view, on working for the greater good of the world in which they live.
Success in video games is often framed at the personal level: the last person standing in Fortnite, achieving high viewership on a Twitch stream, the best player in Rocket League.
