Players emulate what they play into the community: when games don't take violence and adult topics seriously, they become joke subjects. We need games that encourage players to think and reflect, but it can be hard when the environment fights change. It's time to get serious about games.

Having made over 100 games, James Earl Cox III knows the importance of breaking from established norms for his own sake and for games as a whole. We’ll dive into the ways we all shape the medium, how it shapes us back, and what we can do to continue expanding it and making it a better place. Then, maybe we can add the fun back in :)

Co-founder of @SeemPoint, James Earl Cox III made 100 games in 5 years. All 100 can be found on his site: Just404it.com, even the bad ones. He thinks everyone should critically consider how they shape games and the impact we all have on the medium. Tweet at him @Just404it.
