Partial List of Ethical Concerns in Games (Paraphrased from LeighAlexander.net) Advancing the political agendas of arms manufacturers. The aggressive marketing of war games is an inspiration to the US military Apple removes several games critical of manufacturing opperations in impoverished areas from its App Store. Pay-For-Review game sites Revenue stealing free and unsanctioned clones YouTube reviewers accept money to put games in front of their fervent consumer audiences and are not meaningfully obligated to disclose those relationships Exploitative labor practices in the industry including extreme work weeks and letting go of 'excess talent' after a game ships An entire product and studio network can tank because of political posturing. One of the US' most long-running and successful print game publications is owned by one of the world's best-known game retailers and few of the magazine's consumers seem aware of what, if any impact that relationship might have In the name of objectivity, the consumer-facing games press largely re-releases material on a mutually-agreed upon set of terms and chedules dictated by game companies In many of the above cases even when disclosure is obligated and made, disclosure does litle to purify the overall effect on the climate and its perspectives Despite this, only the games press exists to question these ethical problems and attempt to inform the consumer, no one would care otherwise. Women in games are routinely abused, bullied and harrassed while their professional community, and the industry's largest companies, tend to remain silent. Interrogating this culture or attempting to advance this conversation can often result in censure or punishment Not ethical concerns Women's sex lives-independent game developers' Patreons-The personal perspectives of games critics. People having contentious or controversial opinions.Who knows who in a close-knit industry

Patreon isn’t a concern? Greg Lisby begs to differ… (skip to 4:06)

It should at least be disclosed that the writer donated to them.

Who knows who can also be quite important, depending on the context of how they know them. Hernandez knowing Antrophy and Love was quite important, given she dated/lived with them, and strongly pushed their games. Fish knowing the judges of the pay-to-enter competition that awarded him two cash prizes is pretty damn important.
