I genuinely think **FarmVille** is a contender, as I said in the [other thread](https://lemmy.world/comment/15366685), but realistically gaming has existed long enough that picking just one is kind of impossible.

I genuinely think **FarmVille** is a contender, as I said in the [other thread](https://lemmy.world/comment/15366685), but realistically gaming has existed long enough that picking just one is kind of impossible. There have been several shifts and revolutions. With how much of the revenue in gaming currently flows through mobile games, gacha games and live service games etc I really do believe FarmVille might be the strongest influence on the current landscape of gaming. But historically, it's possible **Doom** was more important for its development. Or even **Super Mario Bros** for putting home consoles on the map. I could even see an argument for **Minecraft** - it's completely ubiquitous and an absolutely global phenomenon. Gaming is already big enough and has existed long enough that the question is fairly unanswerable. It's like picking the most influential movie. Is it **Birth of a Nation** for inventing cinematic language? **The Jazz Singer** for popularising "talkies"? Is it **Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory in Lyon** for being the "first"? Is it **The Wizard of Oz**? Is it just **Citizen Kane**? The truth is, it's none of them. It's *all* of them.
