in order to help the effort: altgames (#AltGames) are an important (re)assertion and (re)affirmation of an inclusive aesthetics for videogames. It has no choice but to identify as an alternative aesthetics as its practitioners are intersectionally and redundantly marginalized by mainstream ones. An important link is the essay: http://boingboing.net/2015/03/16/punk-games.html where a punk rock ethos is invoked. I humbly submit that my essay Pixels, Politics, and Play can serve as an earlier example of subaltern aesthetics in videogames (c.f. Intelligent Agent volume 3 no 2). We invoked rasquache (ra-SKWA-che) aesthetics pioneered in the chicano movement.
