Playing with choices and moral dilemmas: Analyzing the challenges of the gamer mindset 

 This talk builds off my early work studying players who enjoy games with moral and ethical dilemmas, as well as additional work creating a game that features such elements. Advancing that work, it asks how “regular” players, or those less likely to deeply engage with such game components, deal with such choices. Through a preliminary examination of You Tube Let’s Play videos as well as Twitch live streams of games including Firewatch and Life is Strange 2, the talk highlights the greater diversity of approaches that players take, and the particular issue of the ‘gamer mindset’ that many players employ. Additionally, the talk considers the challenges that game designers face when building such games, and how to possibly circumvent these limitations.
