Good morning VGIM-ers,

Now, I know what you’re thinking. Sunday? For a newsletter? What’s going on, George?

Well, the London Games Festival was so busy that I was only able to wrap up this newsletter late on Friday. And rather than sending it out in the dying hours of the working week, I thought it’d make sense to shove it over to you as some sleep Sunday morning reading instead.

In this month’s edition, we pay homage to the 30th anniversary of the release of the classic Simpsons episode 22 Short Films About Springfield by sending you three politically tinged stories from the Festival with an anthology-like feel.

VGIM Insiders can read all of the stories below AND get early access to forthcoming VGIM events, extra content and 10% off advertising spend. Sign up via the form below.

Once you’ve done that, make sure to steam yourself a ham Albany-style and enjoy the newsletter.
