  • #sweatshop game should be required component at design/fashion programs :) #g4c12 cc @thenewschool #
  • Interesting. #sweatshop game mechanics reward you for exploiting workers but then u see human cost. Reminds me of Sims gameplay. #g4c12 #
  • #sweatshop game trailer reminded me of Cafe Waitress. Kids play "tough job" RPGs, so how to connect IRL action/activism to gameplay? #g4c12 #
