In the course of their dynamic development, fictionalised computer games have become sophisticated audiovisual cultural texts which are becoming more and more important and which convey increasingly powerful messages. The worldview aspects of these games, and the way these aspects are expressed reach far beyond the traditionally conceptualised area of “game” or “play” in the strict sense. The reports from the players’ experiences come close to those theories of relating to a text discussed in the works by Gadamer and Ricoeur. At the same time, the increasingly strong influence of the quasi-ethical dimension of the message contained in these games places this area of “virtual leisure” in the space of hermeneutical discourse.
