Slow Games Movement Manifesto

The medium of videogames, like virtually all aspects of modern society, is accelerating rapidly. It feels like it's tougher than ever to stay up-to-date, to have the latest hardware, to be using the most cutting-edge technology, to have played the newest releases, to have reviewed games as early as possible, to be conversant about the hottest takes, to attend the expensive industry events, to have known personally the people who are trending before they're trending and before they've stopped trending.

The vehicle of videogames is careening out of control, and we're constantly trying to hand over the reins to people we believe are more in-control.

The slow games movement asks if it's not a better idea to try to just slow the fuck down.
