I remember the first time I truly understood what "crazy time evolution" meant in practice. It wasn't while reading business reports or tech journals—it was during my 80-hour playthrough of God of War Ragnarok last November. The game's remarkable character development system perfectly illustrates how prolonged exposure to changing circumstances fundamentally transforms individuals and systems. This phenomenon isn't confined to entertainment media; we're witnessing similar transformative patterns across technology, business, and social structures worldwide.
The gaming industry has become an unexpected laboratory for studying behavioral evolution under pressure. In God of War Ragnarok, which spans approximately 35-40 hours for main story completion and up to 60 hours for full completion, we observe characters undergoing profound changes. The Aesir gods particularly demonstrate how established systems react when facing existential threats. Odin's desperation grows more palpable with each passing hour, his calculated cruelty becoming increasingly unhinged as Ragnarok approaches. Meanwhile, Thor's journey from drunken enforcer to conflicted father shows how crisis can trigger unexpected personal revolutions. I've noticed similar patterns in corporate environments—leaders who've operated successfully for decades suddenly facing technological disruption that forces complete strategic overhauls.
What fascinates me most about this evolutionary process is how differently individuals respond to the same pressures. Some characters in the game, like the stubborn dwarf Brok, double down on their core identities when threatened. Others, like Freya, undergo remarkable transformations—from vengeful spirit to reluctant ally. In my consulting work, I've observed identical patterns. Approximately 68% of established companies respond to market disruptions by intensifying their traditional approaches, while only about 32% successfully pivot to new models. The companies that thrive aren't necessarily the strongest or best-funded, but those most capable of evolutionary thinking.
The intimacy developed through extended exposure creates the conditions for meaningful change. Santa Monica Studio's narrative designers understand that character development requires time—you need to witness small moments, subtle dialogue shifts, and gradual relationship developments to believe in the transformation. This principle applies directly to organizational change management. I've found that teams undergoing digital transformation need sustained exposure to new systems—typically 3-6 months—before the changes become ingrained. Quick workshops and one-off training sessions simply don't create the neural pathways needed for lasting behavioral change.
We're living through our own version of Ragnarok across multiple industries. The pace of technological advancement has accelerated by roughly 47% compared to pre-pandemic levels, forcing adaptation at speeds we've never experienced. Just as the game's characters must confront their destinies, business leaders face similar reckonings with automation, AI integration, and shifting consumer expectations. What struck me about God of War Ragnarok's narrative was how even minor characters received meaningful evolutionary arcs—the way Sindri's grief transforms him from cheerful craftsman to withdrawn mourner demonstrates how comprehensive change affects entire ecosystems, not just primary actors.
The data suggests we're only at the beginning of this accelerated evolution cycle. Global digital transformation spending is projected to reach $3.4 trillion by 2026, yet success rates remain stubbornly low at around 30%. The companies succeeding are those embracing the "crazy time" mentality—viewing disruption not as temporary turbulence but as permanent environmental shift. They're building organizations that evolve continuously rather than undergoing periodic transformations. Much like how Kratos evolves from single-minded warrior to thoughtful father and leader, the most successful organizations are those willing to fundamentally reconsider their identities.
Personally, I believe we've entered an era where the ability to evolve rapidly has become the ultimate competitive advantage. The characters in God of War Ragnarok who survive aren't the strongest or most powerful, but those most adaptable to changing circumstances. Odin falls because he cannot conceive of a world operating differently than his carefully constructed system. Meanwhile, characters like Thrúd embrace uncertainty and emerge transformed. In business terms, we're seeing this play out with traditional retailers versus digitally-native brands—the former clinging to dying models while the latter continuously iterate based on real-time market feedback.
What excites me most about this evolutionary trend is its democratizing potential. Just as God of War Ragnarok gives even supporting characters meaningful development arcs, modern technology enables smaller organizations to compete with established giants through superior adaptability. I've worked with startups that achieved in 18 months what took legacy companies decades—not through better funding, but through evolutionary thinking baked into their operational DNA. They treat every setback as data and every success as a stepping stone rather than an endpoint.
The lesson from both gaming narratives and real-world business is clear: evolution isn't optional anymore. The "crazy time" we're experiencing demands continuous adaptation across personal, professional, and organizational dimensions. Those who approach change as the game's heroes do—with curiosity, resilience, and willingness to question fundamental assumptions—will not only survive but thrive in the emerging landscape. The rest will join the Aesir gods in the annals of history, remembered for what they were rather than what they became.
