Platform/Manifesto
v4 v5 15 15 16 16 == Time & Place 17 We believe there is a time and a place for playing video games and that video games should live there and stay there and not be permitted to leak out of that designated place into other areas of life because that would be unhealthy. Desktop PCs are conducive to this paradigm, mobile computing platforms aggitate it. Desktop PCs make it impossible to play video games standing-up on a public bus or elevated metro train, but mobile platforms would allow that. We insist that our games are played in places that are considered to be characteristic of homes and places of refuge and places of rest, not in places outside of that. This is important because of the believe we have in that games should be tightly tethered to physical places where they are experienced, contrast this with the polar opposite: Pokémon GO. 17 We believe there is a time and a place for playing video games and that video games should live there and stay there and not be permitted to leak out of that designated place into other areas of life because that would be unhealthy.

We believe video games are activities of rest and rejuvenation, and we believe such activities should be tightly tethered to ''places'' of rest and rejuvenation. 18 18 19 19 == Macro Keypads
