Interesting article, as being both a dad and a game lover:
The ideal of video game fatherhood is that it can motivate the player to greater and more heroic action.
And the ideal, quite simply, is that it can make you care, by giving you the visual shorthand for someone you can care about, a virtual son or daughter, as helpless and dependent on you as so many non-controllable characters you’ve experienced in games before. But for this one, it makes sense, because, hey, you’re their dad and you love them.
