The Power of Incentives - How Games Help Us Examine Our World - Extra Credits

Games are uniquely suited as a medium to teach us about how our world works. By emulating incentive systems and allowing the player to explore and make their own mistakes, games can change people's minds - in some cases, better than a sermon or lecture on the subject could. As a medium, games can both comment on our society and help us recognize faulty systems all around us.
