You know, I was listening to a recent episode of TMK and they had a guest on who was talking about how the games industry is a multi-billion money making machine with a huge impact on popular culture, and yet is a space where the left hasn't made much headway into, even though there's a lot of potential there.

I mean, Disco Elysium, a game that does not hide its left wing sensibilities at all, is currently the best-reviewed game of all time on Metacritic. How can this not mean that there is an ideological void waiting to be filled? If the games industry were not dominated by a handful of multi-billion dollar companies, I'm sure that gaming could have incredible potential as a medium for leftist thought to flourish. Maybe I'm just being too optimistic here.

I thought that episode of TMK was a very interesting and thought-provoking discussion. The guest's name is Marijam Did, and here's a link to it. I'm about to start reading the book that she wrote on this subject.
