    Did those papers freak out because of the very idea of a newsgame, or that it simulates a current conflict?

    Should colleges create simulation games as iOS apps, if this kind of blockage can happen?

    Well there's always Android - I really like my Nexus 7 a lot; take it everywhere. And I've found downloading bits directly from the web for Android to be not too bothersome (the Humble Bundle folks have a workable system going).

    Is the Play store more open?
  •  
    I thought it was, though I can't find any particular article attesting to that fact (maybe the respective Wikipedia pages would give a clue). But I also thought that it was not possible to install an app on an iOS device without a jailbroken phone - on Android if you have the .pks or whatever-type file on the web somewhere, you can install it, even on the standard version of Android.

    Sounds like a potential Play/Android advantage. Then there's the Web.
  •  
    Yes, and especially since tablets are becoming more common, tools formatted for the web don't have to be squished onto a smartphone screen as much as they once might have been.
  •  
    Good point. Perhaps we'll see phones hew to apps, and tablets cleave to the Web.

Syrian Journey game - 0 views

  •  
    Short newsgame simulating choices confronting Syrian refugess. "The Syrian conflict has torn the country apart, leaving thousands dead and driving millions to flee their homes. Many seek refuge in neighbouring countries but others pay traffickers to take them to Europe - risking death, capture and deportation. If you were fleeing Syria for Europe, what choices would you make for you and your family?"
