[Air-L] Asking for readings about video games and ethics

[Nicole Grove]

I agree with Robert, Ian Bogost's book Unit Operations and also How To Do
Things with Video Games are very good.  McKenzie Wark's Gamer Theory and
Alexander Galloway's Gaming: Essays on Algorithmic Culture are also good if
you are interested in the ethics of games and gaming.
