[POSTPONED] - Gaming Now More Than Ever

Note: This event has been cancelled and will be rescheduled at a later date.

With so many people stuck at home, more and more are using gaming to explore, escape, and forge connections. As we all grab a controller, we’re starting to embrace the positive role that gaming can play in our lives. Is the end of game-shaming finally here? Or, was the Animal Crossing release just the best-timed rollout in history?

Join Future Tense on Tuesday, June 9 for less than an hour at 4:00 pm EDT for a conversation about our evolving relationship with gaming.
