Episode 68 – Ethical Issues With Adult Games (With Fae Daunt)
We’ve rarely discussed the specific category of adult games on this podcast. So, we do so here and now and honestly, with a bit more speculation and off-the-cuff “let’s try this idea out and see if it sticks” mentality. We explore whether adult games should be treated differently than other types of pornography, whether age-gating is actually desirable, and a bunch of other issues.

Fae wishes to further discussions of inclusivity, safe exploration, and understanding in games. They’re currently developing an experimental mobile game that progresses in real-world time
