Author: David Roskin


Collection Notes:

It’s interesting to see the impact Animal Crossing had on interaction and togetherness during times of isolation. This article discusses the power that video games (particularly Animal Crossing) had during the pandemic. How people found ways to connect with one another when seeing each other was not an option.
