The medium has matured to the point where enough people understand and use [electronic video games] that we can now put them to other uses than just entertainment.

Let's take on the most complicated, difficult problem that we could possibly take on in contemporary American political discourse. We'll make an abortion game.

Advertisers, governments and organizations mount huge campaigns to show us what they want us to see, and we want to expose what they're hiding. There's lots of precedent for this sort of speech in print, in film (and) on the Web, but we think videogames are particularly good at exposing the underlying logics of these organizations--how they work and what's wrong with it.

I've always had a complicated relationship with advertising. It's everywhere, and it's becoming more and more parasitic. Yet, because it's everywhere it has the power to influence people positively as well as negatively.
