as far as the thread's topic, my answer is an absolute yes. many sci-fi games that are out there inspired people to make things that make stuffs like that possible ( like the handphone, look in Star Trek and compare it with what we have right now and you'll see what i mean). but sci-fi games themselves are products of someone's imagination of what would future looks like. so maybe it's like the "if and only if" mathematical symbol in regards to the relation between the perceived future and games
