December ‘08 Round Table – UPDATED 12/31
By Corvus | December 31, 2008
Here we are at the final round table discussion of 2008! My thanks goes out to all the bloggers that contributed this year and made the round table such a success. This month’s topic continues the theme of the last two months, but asks us to peer into our crystal balls…
December ‘08
The Ghost of Gaming Future What role will gaming play in your familial relationships in 5 years? 10 years? 20 years? Having already explored both the past and the present, this month’s round table asks us to turn our eyes to our future gaming expectations. If you can’t picture how gaming will impact your own family, feel free to explore what game designers could/should/shouldn’t do to make gaming a more family friendly experience, or even to create and explore a fictional world where gaming is (or isn’t) a major part of every family’s life.
