“Progressive” games and neoliberal ideology with Austin Anderson
Manage episode 451342025 series 173082
Hi all! Today I have a fascinating conversation with the brilliant Austin Anderson, who is I think the last of the guests that I’ll have on the show from the Alt-F4 conference (along with Dr. Rachel Kowert and Kathleen Morrissey). In this conversation we talk about a bunch of AAA games, such as Detroit Become Human the Last of Us and others, along with some of the ways in which these games get credit for being progressive while simultaneously protecting the neoliberal status quo.
By the way, lots of The Last Of Us spoilers in this episode, so please be warned that the second half of the conversation goes into that territory.
Thanks for listening. As always, you can support this podcast by visiting www.patreon.com/keithburgun and becoming a patron!
