I think what a lot of people don’t understand about protest art is how it lets artists make unnervingly honest statements about lacking agency in the face of your own rage, fear, and frustration www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I don't see the newest video games as just "content" every game i play and want to play is because i truly enjoy the games and want to support the devs. Always do your best to support indie games & just game creators in general
