Katharine is the industry’s best kept secret and one of the most influential leftists (anarchists?) in the game industry imo
Some weeks ago I had the immense privilege of learning all about the origins of Freeplay directly from its co-founder Katharine Neil.
The scope of the feature could only accommodate a fraction of her amazing stories. It was SUCH a treat to hear them!

J'adore ce dossier chez The Verge qui revient sur l'influence, encore aujourd'hui, de l'année 2004 sur l'industrie du numérique et nos quotidiens en ligne (moi-même je pense beaucoup à l'année 2014, probablement parce que c'est le moment où je commençais ma carrière) www.theverge.com/c/24247055/2...
2004 was the first year of the future
Facebook, Gmail, podcasts — our tech lives were changed 20 years ago, and it might be time to go back and change some things.

What is you prefered play/game definition?
Mine is from Bernard Suits' book (1978). It emphasizes that play is a subjective state of mind, you can't force someone to play. Plus, both concepts of unecessary obstacles and sub-optimal means are great ways to approach game design.
