I Never Cast For This

In this episode, we welcome the co-founders of Stormy Shore Studios, Evan and Jordan, as we discuss historical accuracy and its importance in video games. Should developers aim to be 100% accurate when it comes to depicting history in gaming? How much change is too much for developers when it comes to portraying historical events? Can games actually be historically accurate AND fun? Should developers be historically authentic even if inclusivity is threatened?

*DISCLAIMER* We are not mental health professionals. We are simply stating our opinions and having a conversation about mental health in gaming.  This is Part 1 in our mental health series on Gaming and Mental Health. In this episode, we discuss gaming disorder and gaming addiction. Is gaming disorder legitimate, or just an excuse? Can people really be addicted to gaming, or just escapism in general? Can gaming be as addictive as drugs? Are video games really to blame for addiction, or are there underlying factors involved?

In this episode, we discuss the developers of No Man's Sky - Hello Games. Do they deserve a second chance after selling the game on false promises? Is the game finally in a state that matches up with the original trailers shown at E3? Do they DESERVE to be praised and redeemed or are they just doing what is expected of them? Does this set a dangerous precedent for the gaming industry?
