Abstract

Videogames are part of our daily life. They allow us to unplug, to relax, to compete, simulating a reality that puts us at the centre of a new digital world. However, if we go deeper into the way videogames are made, we’ll learn that their market can be brutal and the ethics of their business models highly debatable – if not plain intolerable. Nowadays, playing a videogame usually means having to renounce your privacy and shake hands with realities that we might not condone if we knew what they conceal. Free software allows us to reject this premise and grants people access to these experiences and the means to create games in ways that do no harm. Join us and discover Luanti, the voxel libre game platform that is widely used for both entertainment and education without ever compromising on the premise of total respect for all human beings.
