What are some real-life topics you were inspired to learn about because of games?

[StaceyPowers]

Do you ever research stuff that interests you in video games?

Like for example:

-After playing Myst as a kid, I got really into learning about physics and cosmology.

-After playing The Last of Us, I read up on real-life cordyceps, and also learned about the history of Molotov cocktails.

I learned a lot of things about the First and Second World War and about war in general from the Making History video games. Also, I think that I developed better ruling and management skills from playing that game.
