Great discussion James. I was watching the amazing movie, Free Guy, last night and thinking . Beyond the ways that violent (e.g., Grand Thief Auto, Trump edition) games dehumanize us all, if the ghosts in the machine begin to think their real, then we will all be out of a job. But I wonder how will the platform monopolies get us the buy the stuff they are selling if we are all reduced to suicidal ghosts?
