Please welcome Jacob Ignagni to Sacred Symbols+. Jacob is a graduate student at the University of Nebraska, where he's studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling. A major point-of-interest for Jacob is the intersection of games and mental health, and our discussion on + focuses on this nexus. We separate things into three categories: The black skies of monetization and retention, the fairer skies of escapism and economy, and the blue skies of literacy, problem solving, and acuity. For those that are deeply interested in how games affect you beyond the controller, well... this chat's very much for you.
