Hi Nicholas! Excellent framework; you have all the resources to build your argument! You have an interesting analysis comparing the game's social impact in its first year versus its seventh. I would definitely look into the LGBTQIA+ character integration and research other ways the game had to "keep up" with changing societal paradigms and values. Great work!
