Confinement has of course contributed to the success of Animal Crossing, insofar as it was possible to engage in activities in the game that are prohibited in real life (visiting your neighbors, visiting a museum, tasting tea, etc.). Some are now betting on a trend towards non-violent and non-competitive games. Around fifty comforting video games were presented by their creators during the Wholesome Direct (an online conference broadcast on YouTube on Tuesday, May 26).
The platform is also a virtual village square where players go, attend concerts and interact with millions of other players. During the lockdown, this “social network” aspect has attracted users who have transposed their real-life concerns into the game.
The young American elected official Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez visited her followers on the game.
In France, "yellow vest" players launched a cyber-protest colombia cell phone number list against Emmanuel Macron's policies the day after the game's release.
In Hong Kong, pro-democracy protesters gathered to deface portraits of Hong Kong chief executive Carrie Lam with butterfly nets .
Cultural players have also made their entrance. Some museums have used Animal Crossing to get around the closure of their exhibitions. The Getty Museum has made works available that players can download via a QR code, while the Angers Museum offers a tour of its dinosaur bone collections .

The diversion of the playful use of the Animal Crossing video game is in reality a movement of reconfiguration of our activities, disrupted by confinement.
