The perception of games, supporting parents and why I love the medium
Why are games underrated from a cultural perspective
How the games industry can more effectively support parents
What made me fall in love with video games
Hello VGIM readers,
As per usual, the monthly Ask George column is here.
In this month’s edition, I’m writing up three of the answers that I gave to Rad Yeo during a Q and A about the impact of games on society at last week’s Education Symposium in Melbourne.
Everyone will be able to hear my answers on ABC’s Big Ideas podcast for free at a later date. But Insiders get an early look at some of my thoughts as a thank you for helping fund my work.

In return for just £50 a year - or £6 a month - you support the creation of VGIM, receive two bonus emails from me every month, get discounts on conference passes and sponsorships of VGIM content and first dibs on tickets to any events I organise.

Games are so far-reaching, influential, important - so why don't we think about them more from a cultural perspective?
