Why is it we make a game of this nature? Are we expected to change the people in Africa? Last i checked each community is responsible for themselves. When all the aid we send ends up in corrupt militia hands and gets sold for weapons and ammo who does it really help? If you can not stand up and fight for your own freedom and safety why should I?
gonna take more than a video game to fix that problem. all those people play the game but still nothing happens. you want to know why? because nobody cares. and, the people who can do something are pussies. that of course would be the united nations. darfur = another UN failure.
"For a growing number of people, gaming is a logical medium for rigorous communication and social outcome. With the unique affordances that agency in games makes possible, such as 'embodied experience' and 'self-realization', together with the affinity that the player community experiences, distances may be shortened, both physical and ideological."
LOL...i need to play this game, my embodied affordances need some more self-realizing.
