I won't link/cap my last repost as the author has reposts turned off. He's correct and also the topic of "can fiction influence attitudes?" is fun, complex and nuanced. There's research on it!

I’ve written about sustainability in the games industry and this book will be a great comprehensive overview — perfect for folks wondering how games will clash with climate change. I’ve even got a chapter in it covering games media’s role!

If you're curious about practical methods and in-depth critical takes on how to work on sustainability in and through games and play, have we got the book for you! Preorder now, with our full release November 17th: www.routledge.com/The-Game-Nee...

Can game design really change the world? 🎮 In this week's ep of The Goth Boss Podcast, I chat to @trevinyork.bsky.social about Game Design For Change and hear about projects that are having a real impact on the world. YouTube: www.youtube.com/@gothboss Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/6ZPydcl...

I had a really great time chatting with dots.eco about what design for change looks like in practice in green games. open.spotify.com/episode/7aFm...

I'm so excited every time I see this project get more recognition

I'll be on a panel both days of @conpulsion.bsky.social in Edinburgh April 12th/13th discussing the state of the game industry, equipped with (I'd argue) justified optimism. Come play games, meet game makers and artists, hear cool talks, and support charity partner www.emptykitchens.co.uk
