Social change meets gaming.
So I read an article recently that spoke of this kid... a 49 year old, who just created a videogame about being homeless, supposedly teaching kids to about social issues.
I went to the website and played the game. I'm not sure...
Another example of the commodification of a real need?
Are we too "scared" to get the real experience of walking the streets of East Hastings, handing out food and actually, get this, interact with the homeless?
There was actually a conference designed to help tackle/discuss the issue too: Games for Change Conference.
It's a nice attempt but...
Ai... Don't get me started...
