Growing up. We all do it. And the games industry is doing it, too. Kids who lived and breathed games in the 1980s and ‘90s are now 30- and 40-somethings, perhaps with kids of their own. The time they once had to enjoy video games has been compromised, irreversibly altered. So: how do you, how do we, deal with that? And just what is the best way to nurture a future Mario Kart champion? Answers, people. We have some of them here.
Waypoint’s senior editor Mike, himself a father of two, is joined for this episode by Ellie Gibson (Dara O Briain’s Go 8 Bit, The Guardian, Eurogamer, Scummy Mummies) and Gareth Dutton (Making Games Is Fun, Chat Very Good), both of whom also have two children. They’ve also both contributed to Waypoint/VICE in the past, too, with words, photographs and presenting skills, so it’s a treat to have them on the podcast.
Discussed: what games are good to share with kids, and which should we shield them from; how our time with games changed once these small people came into our lives; how the industry has evolved to better appreciate the parent gamer; the increasing attraction of so-called casual games; and a whole lot more.
It’s an hour, thereabouts, of terrific chat, with just an occasional swear so, probably, don’t actually play this within earshot of an impressionable minor.
