The influence of right-wing extremism in and on gaming is real, which is why we need well-founded and critical analyses – without alarmism. Five authors of the newly published ‘Handbuch Gaming & Rechtsextremismus’ (Handbook on Gaming & Right-wing Extremism, bpb series) discuss how it is possible to have a debate that does not offer simple answers but takes the medium seriously in all its breadth and diversity in the fight for a resilient, diverse and democracy-strengthening gaming culture. This new debate shows what is possible when actors from different industries work together critically but with a firm belief in the potential of the medium.
