We need to change the conversation around games…
Too often do we spend our time defending games: simply talking about "why games aren't bad", when what we should be discussing is "what good games can do". This keeps us in a perpetual cycle of talking heads on TV discussing games as 'murder simulators' or decrying the "harm" they do... we've been having this conversation since 60 Minutes covered Death Race in the 1970's,
It's time we talk about all the things games can do for us as a scientific, cultural, artistic and educational medium instead. It's better for society, it's better for creators and it's better for players.
