Why Care About Wholesome Games Anyway?
It's no secret there has been a noticeable rise in visibility for "wholesome" games—games with non-violent, often inclusive, themes and mechanics. Titles such as Unpacking, A Short Hike, and Ooblets are just some examples of games that have hit a level of popularity, rivaling their more violent counterparts.

Using information gathered by the creators of Wholesome Games, this 2023 Fair Play Summit panel explores the viability of wholesome games—their business, impact, and meaning for the industry and beyond.
