Gaming that is Inclusive
Cordova, TN; April 23, in
the year of our Lord 2013 -- Every so often I get an
email, or meet someone at a trade show that asks why do we
ignore the 'M' rated games. There are a plethora of reasons to
do so, one of the most prominent is I support gaming that is
inclusive, not exclusive. By its very nature a game that is
seventeen and older only is excluding a large percentage of the
family. They are exclusive games that contain content children
should not be exposed to.
Children and younger teens are being told by the secular gaming
media the exclusive games are cool. That is what you aspire
towards. I disagree with that molding of the gaming population.
Instead I believe we should promote, encourage, and uplift the
inclusive games. Video games that all ages can play. Video games
that families can enjoy together. Video games that bring us
together instead of the ones that divide us.
It astounds me how much sharing, and selflessness is found in
the inclusive games. Not so much with the exclusive games. I
find my attitude is better after playing with others in an
inclusive game. I am happier, and more interested in serving
others around me. Inclusive games remind me to put others before
self. The majority of the gaming industry is inclusive games.
They do not get the same amount of press, which is another
reason I am writing about them.
I love spending time with my wife and children. I enjoy playing
games with them. It is one of the ways we can fellowship
together. So it is great when we find inclusive games that all
of us can enjoy. There are plenty of companies out there that
happily provide inclusive games too. Families all over the world
appreciate their hard work, due diligence, and steadfast focus
on the dream of inclusive games. What inclusive games have you
found that bring people together?
