Of particular note are Keza MacDonald’s response on IGN, Brendan Keogh’s “Quit Pretending There Isn’t a Videogame Rape Culture“, and Patricia Hernandez’s personal account coming face to face with the rape culture of online gaming.

    To add to Alex’s already impressive list, I would also like to direct your attention to Brendan Keogh’s follow-up to his Critical Damage post and the attention it received from this… shall we say, ill-advised…

    …METAGAME

    When October 2013 rolled around and The Stanley Parable properly debuted on Valve’s Steam storefront, the game was met with a flurry of positive reviews from sites large and small. TSP’s metatextual bent resonated strongly with many critics, although it also posed certain critical challenges. Matthewmatosis cites the game’s self-awareness as a barrier (video link, CC/auto-captions) to worthwhile critique and that “the entire experience suffers heavily from diminishing returns,” referencing TSP’s emphasis on repeatedly restarting the game to achieve multiple endings. On the other hand, Alex Duncan’s essay on how to approach critique of TSP as a work

    …without punishment or reward. Tom Chick concurred, stating that the decision to kill or spare Darko said more about the player than the game, and the somber drive afterward “forced you to think instead of watch or listen.”

    Nayan Ramachandran, however, felt that dressing up certain choices as explicit moral decisions only served to trivialize the countless murders Niko committed in missions or just driving around.

What else is out there to play and cover? How can we more thoughtfully engage with the stuff that already has all of the mindshare?

    Play-by-Play

    Now let’s look at a few individual titles and the different ways they connected with writers.
