One is technological.  One is psychological.  The inferred analogy is not
quite fair.  One can devise a new technology through their own personal
interaction with science.  A game designer cannot be expected to change
every person's motivations, perceptions, and/or behaviors, when no single
legal system, religion, or form of goverment in recorded history has been
able to unite the entire globe under a single vision.
