Given the backing a cultural trauma many abstractions can become prevalent, running with a smaller game that precedes the same emotional output is common way of subtly expressing these practices. Whether the practices sit ideal to the societal complex is less the issue. The phenomenon of using games to construct these cultural parallels, especially in trauma can be vital in healing the rather catastrophic outcome while still providing the stimulus of action in a smaller respect. This can be seen where humans outsource to things such as sport or competition in a replacement for genuine war.
