How Washington Learned To Love Games


This short video documentary starts out discussing a video games exhibit at The Smithsonian, but takes a very sharp turn and focuses its attention on the Moral Panic surrounding gaming, and how it has slowly overcome opposition in government — it’s actually quite fascinating.

It seems like I’ve been a little slow on picking up this one up, so if you’ve seen it already, I apologise, but it’s really interesting and well put together.

Obviously we’ve had our own issues with video games, and getting game related legislation through government, but we’re really started to witness a sea change in attitudes towards gaming from decision makers. I see a lot of parallels in this video, and I enjoyed it.

Thanks Naked Snake
