Understanding Ethical Dilemmas in Video Games

Video games have emerged as one of the most popular forms of entertainment across all ages and groups, sparking growing concern over ethics in game development. In this course, we will introduce you to ethical ambiguities in game design and explore creative approaches developers can take to encourage critical thinking and reflection on complex moral issues while promoting positive social values and responsible gaming practices.
