So apparently the data used to recreate Notre Dame in Assassin’s Creed: Unity, such as surgically accurate laser scans and research by one of the developers, will now be used to restore the cathedral itself.

Not gonna lie, it’s kinda amazing how video games, still so often perceived as something childish and meaningless, will now contribute to restoring one of the most famous pieces of European history.

i want to both spread this as impressive technological marvel from unexpected source, but also to joke that the rebuilt cathedral will have walls with only one side, the cardinal clips through the altar and gets stuck waist deep in the floor, and the choir rockets off in separate directions when the incense is lit
