Finding Humanity in Sad Robot Games

What is it about sad Robots and Androids that never fail to evoke our humanity?

Perhaps its because they bear our image.

Or because they are the legacy of humanity, the closest we will ever come to Gods creating a new lifeform.

Maybe its because, in the ways that matter most, Androids are, in fact, us.

Let's discuss.
