S1E11 - Marx at the Arcade w. Dr. Jamie Woodcock
<h2>About</h2> <p><strong>Dr. Jamie Woodock</strong> from <strong>Open University UK</strong>, author of <strong>Marx at the Arcade</strong> joins me in a discussion about Marxism and video games. Is there a Marxist analysis of video games? How is it possible to conduct one? Does a game need to reference clear, typical Marxist terms for it to be worth of a Marxist analysis? There are even more questions uncovered in this episode, so listen closely.</p> <h2>References</h2> <p>Jamie Woodcock - Marx At The Arcade <<a href="https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1319-marx-at-the-arcade" rel="nofollow">https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1319-marx-at-the-arcade</a>></p> <p>Games of Empire - Global Capitalism and Video Games <<a href="https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/games-of-empire" rel="nofollow">https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/games-of-empire</a>></p> <p>Spawn Point Podcast (I accidentally called it Spawn On Me, which is another podcast that you should check out): <<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spawnpoint/id1471512530" rel="nofollow">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spawnpoint/id1471512530</a>></p> <p>Every Game Makes a Statement by Radu Stochita (me, heey): <<a href="https://bowdoinreview.com/2020/12/07/every-game-makes-a-statement/" rel="nofollow">https://bowdoinreview.com/2020/12/07/every-game-makes-a-statement/</a>></p> <p>Game Developers must avoid the "wage-slave" attitude - by Alex St. John <<a href="https://venturebeat.com/2016/04/16/game-developers-must-avoid-the-wage-slave-attitude/" rel="nofollow">https://venturebeat.com/2016/04/16/game-developers-must-avoid-the-wage-slave-attitude/</a>></p> <p>How Bioware's Anthem Went Wrong <<a href="https://kotaku.com/how-biowares-anthem-went-wrong-1833731964" rel="nofollow">https://kotaku.com/how-biowares-anthem-went-wrong-1833731964</a>></p> <p>What is happening with video game sales during coronavirus <<a href="https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-03-28-what-is-happening-with-video-game-sales-during-coronavirus" rel="nofollow">https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-03-28-what-is-happening-with-video-game-sales-during-coronavirus</a>></p> <p>Gaming sales almost up to $180bn <<a href="https://twitter.com/GameSpot/status/1341911521157402625" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/GameSpot/status/1341911521157402625</a>></p> <p>Microsoft buys Fallout creator for $7.5bn (I am sorry, I have claimed it to be $10bn.

S1E9 - How to resist Amazon? with Dania Rajendra from Athena
<h2>Athena for All</h2> <p>Athena is a new alliance of people who believe that control over our lives, our communities, and our democracy should be in our hands.</p> <p>Everyone should be able to enjoy the benefits of digital technologies and online commerce without having to sacrifice our rights and liberties, health and planet, or hopes and dreams.</p> <p>But billionaire corporations like Amazon rig the rules so only they can prosper. They threaten our ability to earn a good living and live a good life.</p> <p>We are joining together to stop Amazon’s growing, powerful grip over our society and economy. We’re going to write new rules so that our economy puts people first, our public officials ensure that no corporation is above the law or too big to govern — and that our democracy, finally, represents all of us.</p> <h2>Articles</h2> <p>International Coalition of activists launches protest against Amazon<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/27/21722421/make-amazon-pay-protest-campaign-black-friday" rel="nofollow">https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/27/21722421/make-amazon-pay-protest-campaign-black-friday</a></p> <p>I tried to block Amazon from my life.
