The General Question of Postcolonialism in Games

In this talk, I go over multiple major games (Civilization 6, Breath of the Wild, Stardew Valley and Monster Hunter), identify colonial mechanics in them and propose postcolonial alternatives. I then go through these alternatives and abstract out common approaches from them that can be used across a variety of games. This talk aims to provide practical ways to turn postcolonialism in games from theory to practice.
