This week on VGS….
We examine a recent trend that gamers and forum commenters believe those people who create video games have no business discussing politics in their games. This comes as a surprise, when all other forms of entertainment have spoken about politics for as long as they’ve been around. We speak about this, this week on VGS.
………….NEWS OF THE WEEK……….
Game developers have stood up against the Immigration ban that Donald Trump has attempted to put into place. Companies are doing what they’ve been doing since they were kids, and fighting against the bad guys against the odds. Hopefully, we can beat this final boss together.
................FEATURE INTERVIEW................
As we enter a new phase in world politics, it’s important to try and understand why people who play those games don’t expect more from that medium. Game Designer Navid Khonsari talks about his experiences with 1979 Revolution, his own experiences during that Black Friday, and how it all relates to what’s going on today.
Topics include:
Citizenship
Political Revolution
People helping others in need
How video games shape the way people view the world
