Critiquing video games from a Christian perspective celebrates “the good while challenging the ways a story malforms us,” Miller writes. Earlier generations’ concerns “aren’t wrong; they’re just thin,” he adds. “It’s time for Christians of all generations to move past indifference toward gaming and begin to take video games seriously as an art form.”
In the comments of Miller’s Twitter post, several people thank him for engaging the conversation. Others point out that conversations will look different regarding adult or children gamers. Brannon McAllister, managing director of media at The Gospel Coalition, indicates the site will soon post a counterpoint essay. “I’m sympathetic to both angles,” he notes.
