Show Notes
From "Duck Hunt" to "Stray", animals have always been a major part of many video game experiences. Some players even keep track of the games in which they can pet the dog – or other animals. But what do representations of animals in games say about our treatment of animals in the real world?
To explore this topic and share our favourite in-game pets, we are joined by Benjamin Hall, Creative Director at Ubisoft Toronto, and Alenda Chang, Associate Professor in Film and Media Studies at UC Santa Barbara.
