It seems a little weird to me that nobody has mentioned that Thumbs Network Three Moves Ahead cohost Tom Chick is battling cancer and has a crowdfunding campaign here so there you go.

Uh, how do we know this fundraiser is actually associated with Tom Chick?

You realize you do exactly the same thing as they do - picking the games not on their own merit, but on political agendas of their creators? :ironicat:

Well, one agenda is equality, and the other agenda is sexual harassment, thanks for showing me their moral equivalence.

Here's a rhetorical question: why isn't anyone talking about the other, more friendly interviews Molyneux did, with the Guardian and others?

Maybe the answer is that PM has distilled avoiding talking about why he wants to avoid talking about into an art form. We already know that a more respectful, professional interview would bring nothing except PM's attempt to restore the status quo. In which case the hostility is a reasonable tactic, it breaks PM out of his comfort zone. And the controversy itself helps create awareness and stops PM from brushing this all under the carpet.

You could add the Game Design Round Table also, they cover a mix of videogames and board games.

On the topic of SimCity being an American expansion into terra nullis, I thought that an interesting philosophically European angle would be to have a Half Life 2 City 17 situation, where an alien architecture is expanding into an existing architecture, literally ripping up the streets and replacing them with something else.
