In this week’s episode we talk about games and emotion using a chapter from Katherine Isbister’s book How Games Move Us: Emotion by Design. We talk about the emotions that developers expect us to feel and those that they don’t. We also spend some time thinking about what we want games to be able to do for us socially, culturally, and politically.
