“The game allowed me to see how the three different areas in the SDGs goals respond when people collaborate, share and work towards common goals. The lesson I learned is that to deal with the moral and ethical question in software development, we could use a game like this.”
The game makes you realize how your individual choices that you make in your private life everyday influence the state of the world…. It often seems a little bit impossible to keep that in mind because the world is so big and I am so small as one person.”
