In Sweden, there is a proposal to recognize Minecraft, It Takes Two, Goat Simulator, and 12 other games as part of the country's cultural heritage
The Swedish association Dataspelsbranschen believes that video games should be included in Sweden's official "cultural canon" — a list of the country's iconic works of art. It has selected 15 games that, in its opinion, are the most deserving to be part of it.
It Takes Two
The list from Dataspelsbranschen includes:
1. Stugan;
2. BackPacker;
3. Europa Universalis;
4. Ground Control;
5. Battlefield 1942;
6. Amnesia: The Dark Descent;
7. Minecraft;
8. Toca Tea Party;
9. Candy Crush Saga;
10. Star Stable Online;
11. Goat Simulator;
12. The Battle of Polytopia;
13. Budget Cuts;
14. Sayonara Wild Hearts;
15. It Takes Two.
Dataspelsbranschen stated that together these projects represent a "Swedish gaming miracle." The association does not rule out the possibility of expanding the selection for the "cultural canon" in the future and may consider, for example, Helldivers 2 as a candidate.
