Games and Gaming Journal
I want to be specific about what you are doing in your gaming journal. The upcoming paper assignment asks you to evaluate a game according to Sicart’s criteria for an ethical game. You’ve just completed a paper that lays out this criteria. And we’ve got a Google Doc full of questions to consider as/after you play.
Let’s revisit those questions.
Decision time people.
Homework
