I’m doing an essay that’s about explaining your major (aerospace) of choice and how you developed the interest. I’m using a video game because I’ve had no formal education related to the major, so I don’t have much of a choice, and I don’t want to write about watching space movies/documentaries. It’s a flight simulator that’s renowned for being very realistic and has been acknowledged by big aerospace companies, and through many hours playing that game I’ve actually learned real concepts I would have learned in a classroom. If I write the essay well, it should be alright?
If you were to focus on the learning side and not the game itself, then it could work. Just PM me.
