https://www.jesperjuul.net/ludologist/2005/01/20/rwanda-genocide-simulation-ouch/ My name is Jesper Juul, and I am a Ludologist [researcher of the design, meaning, culture, and politics of games]. This is my blog on game research and other important things.

At the same time, it’s hard to tell the agenda of the developers and publishers involved. Treading on such tretcherous ground guarantees publicity – I can’t help wondering that it’s something that the publishers (perhaps even the developers).I hope the game is good in of itself, rather than simply acting as vessal for a political statement. There’s nothing to stop that happening, I suppose. I just always feel a little suspicious of such things – they tend to tread a thin line between being Schindler’s List, and being exploitative and arrogant.
