AFK in Florida: Philosophy of Video Games Conference


FAU’s Department of Philosophy, in partnership with the Center for the Future of AI, Mind and Society, hosted the 4th Annual Philosophy of Video Games Conference. The two-day event brought together philosophers, game scholars, students, and players to explore the meaning, ethics, aesthetics, and cultural power of video games — featuring talks on gamification of leisure, aesthetics of competition, empathetic gameplay, and ludonarrative dissonance.
