Discussed: What If 'Among Us' Was Real Life? – Liana Ruppert | Episode 20

by



Everyone once in a while a game comes along that transcends genre, subjective preferences or styles and just blows us up in a way that takes it from “game” to “cultural phenomenon”. “Among Us” is that game. What about this relatively simple, low fi looking game has captured the hearts and minds of so many? And why now? Game Informer Liana Ruppert joins Peter and Richard to discuss and ponder the cultural and sociological reasons why “Among Us” is being played obsessively by millions and watched/streamed by billions and, most importantly, “What If Among Us was real?”

NOTE: What If Discussed is on hiatus. The former producer and co-host of “What IF Discussed” asked and tried to answer lots of question on the show along with the top names in science. Join him now as he looks to go deeper, ask bigger questions with world thought leaders with nuance, objectivity and context on “A Third Way”. – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK1ZkAdeQ6UGJ_duA2FzEfg
