Today, video games are a large and growing culture, and with that many little easter eggs and references can be made. One example of this is in the popular team based shooter Overwatch. The character Doomfist has an emote, in which he is making a thumbs up, holding it sideways, and dangling it on the cusp of thumb down and thumb up, which he ends up going thumb down. This is a reference to gladiator fights where the Emperor would decide the fate of the combatants.
Another one is in another video game, though old, The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion. In this game you eventually come upon an arena which you can enter and fight other gladiators surrounded by cheering fans until you gain the title, Grand Champion.
