“The writers argue that the “fun” aspect of video games is precisely what makes them a more user-friendly medium for philosophy than books and in a world where, as the book states “few governments take philosophy seriously enough to make it compulsory in schools”, games may be the only place kids can learn about the subject. This is depressing as all hell.”

Video games can teach us more about philosophy than books – if only they’d dare: Dominik Diamond

So Dominik Diamond really liked our book. There’s nice.

“when I am faced with a choice in games, I don’t look at them as inspiring ways to test philosophical thought experiments or morality. I go with what will get me the most points. I was brought up on arcade games where the only measure of success was adding to a number. My kids’ generation are different. They grew up with games where you blew petals around or experienced life as a mountain, and there was no score at all. They have been allowed to consider, quite literally, everything.”

Him, again.

“a wonderful book which makes me consider games more.”

And again. How lovely!
