Mar 3, 2026 · 1h 4m

About this episode

Most games compete for attention but very few earn emotional ownership. Why do some worlds become places people live in, not just visit? This episode explores how immersive environments create identity, shared presence, and long-term community investment. But also, how design builds deeper trust with players and ...even ourselves, allowing us to rethink norms and rules in more meaningful and fulfilling ways.
