Cultural Influences in Games
Culture is a term describing a people's way of life, the behaviour, beliefs, values, and symbols that they accept and that are passed down from one generation to another generation through communication and imitation.
Language, religion, food, social behaviors, music, and the arts are all examples of cultural features and knowledge. Culture is an integrated collection of human actions, knowledge, and belief patterns within a community or social group.
Culture can be split into a lot of types. In the big picture, there are material culture and non-material culture. Games development has been implementing more human culture into games making them more fun and relevant.
Material culture refers to the physical aspects of a society, the objects made or modified by a human. These objects surround a people and its activities and are defined by their properties, be they chemical, physical, or biological. Properties are intrinsic to an object, like shape, size, surface texture, chemical composition and organization, molecular or cellular structure, colour, and weight.
These are a few examples from Overwatch that implementing real-life culture into their games.
