.@camdentheo game-like features in government's activities could potentially increase public engagement #GamesDemocracy

Felix Ciuta: far more #videogames talk about the absence of the rule of law #GamesDemocracy https://t.co/th00Fg55oE

.@KubikJan are there any #videogames that teach about the importance of the rule of law in a #democratic system? #GamesDemocracy

Great question: games are about analysing and making decisions, and so is democracy; how does the former affect the latter? #GamesDemocracy

.@cliffski on the pros of #games #modding - if you think #Democracy3 is biased you can make your own version #GamesDemocracy #gaming #debate

[Io Brindle 🌙 @io_brindle]

Still, she says, there are a bunch of meta analyses showing the efficacy of teaching via games over more trad methods #GamesDemocracy

[Videogames&Democracy @VideogamesUCL]

@cliffski #Democracy3 is not about teaching what policies are wrong/right but how democracy works #GamesDemocracy

[Io Brindle 🌙 @io_brindle]

desire across politics to use the apparent transfixion in which games hold players as a vehicle for political engagement #GamesDemocracy
