Are Wargamers born with a predisposition to strategy, tactics, and gaming, or is it entirely down to our upbringing? The significance of Nature versus Nurture has been debated for hundreds of years in science, literature, and film. But does the argument hold true for Wargamers?
Gaming in general is becoming more mainstream, as evidenced by its appearance in popular culture. Within gaming, perhaps thanks to GW, wargaming is becoming more common. Evolution works over generations so it is not plausible that the increase in gaming is due to evolution (i.e. 'nature') therefore it is likely growing because of 'nurture', both parental and societal.
