PAX Prime: Damnation or Salvation: Online Games and Human Society
800 Convention Place
Seattle, WA 98101
USA
From ganking culture to social movements and fundraisers, there is no question that online gaming has a significant effect on the societies we live in. Gaming without barriers has worked to broaden our social horizons and is a great leveler of race, creed, religion, age, gender, and economic or social status. Where is it leading? Will online games help human societies evolve in understanding and mutual support, or are we damned to raise generations of increasingly enabled griefers and trolls?
