Video games are a big business. The global gaming industry employs millions of people and was valued at $173.7 billion in 2020. It’s been a long time since 1958, when physicist William Higinbotham created what is thought to be the very first video game, a simple tennis game similar to another great classic, Pong.
Video games play a significant role in the ever-changing entertainment industry and are no longer just for kids and teenagers; they are enjoyed by people of all ages, genders, and walks of life. While there are hundreds of titles being released every year, some stand out above the rest, the so-called AAA games. These video games are heavily advertised by the leading publishers, to the point where expert gamers provide you with everything you should know about them online even before their release. They are the ones that get all the hype, have the most sales, and impact the gaming community the most.
Gameplay, development, visual and graphic design, storytelling, and characters: all these elements contribute to the creation of legendary stories that shape pop culture and create huge debates on every social media platform. From Red Dead Redemption to The Witcher, from God Of War to Skyrim, all these titles share the same dedication of the creators to give millions of people an incredible journey and experience. Do you know what they also have in common? Great writing, which obviously leads to great lines. These titles are a huge source of video game quotes which have become all-time favorites among fans. Actually, a lot of games have great quotes, but AAA game companies really go full berserk on delivering some iconic and cherished lines. Without further ado, we leave you to enjoy the best quotes from video games!
