Following the worldwide critical acclaim of Netflix's Squid Game, which became the streaming platform's third-most watched show with over 150 million total views, it was apparent that this massively popular series was here to stay. Series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk's haunting exploration of desperation and class warfare has tapped into some of the most prevalent and long-standing societal issues of our time. His desire to explore complex themes has a lot in common with video games, where Squid Game has already started to make its presence known.
