Democratic gaming? Who are the bad guys, who are the good guys? What kind of industry is this?

Playing cooperatively together. Human Nagafi and Florian Jöckel discuss with students how democratic gaming can be. Through shared gameplay, they address role models, enemy images, economic power, the Hessian games scene, the influence of AI and personalized content, and the question of whether games create collective experiences or intensify individualization.

Registration required.
