AgoraXchange April 30, 2004 - by Gonzalo Frasca Tate Online is sponsoring an interesting project in political game design called AgoraXchange.net. It's motto is quite provocative: "Make the Game, Change the World". The basic idea behind it is to create an online community for discussing the design of a "massive multi-player global politics game challenging the violence and inequality of our present political system".
