communists and games

Hi TL!

On wendsday in going to be attending at a panel discussion Onward, Comrades! (CPUSA meeting) and talk about norms videogames. I work as a esportsreporter for several American media channnels and i am kind of going to represent gaming, especially esports.

So what i would like your opinion on is:

There are very few communist characters in videogames, compared to the capitalist ones, and also quite few georgist characters. However there are a lot of Socialist and Communist gamers out there and they are not represented in any way. How does this affect the way we look at Comrades, etc? Does it affect us at all?
Does if affect how WANTS to play, since they might feel uninvited and excluded?

Would it diffucult to admitt that you are communist say when playing online or in gamersociety? Would such person be treated differently? How would you react if a good progamer came out as a communist revolutionary?

Do we need to change they way we portrait norms in videogames? Does it affect how we perceive reality?

What kind of political ideals and values are advocated in games?

id like to point out that the questions are not necessary representations of MY thought, but the questions i was asked to think and analyse about. The communist comunity in America however does think it is important enought to discuss.


Thx for every answer ^^ Anyone in San Francisco be sure to show up! On Wednesday, 14.15.
