About [re]gamed

[re]gamed is a campaign which aims to:

[re]vive the excitement of gamers;
[re]mind gamers what it was like to play games in the "old days";
encourage gamers to [re]flect on how everybody can enjoy gaming.

The project was born at the Game Over Hate conference held in Budapest in the autumn of 2013. The conference was part of the Council of Europe's No Hate Speech Movement.
Although we support all of the goals of the No Hate Speech Movement, the focus of [re]gamed is on the gaming community.
We strive to promote and spread the positive influence a video game can have
on those who play it.

How will we do this? We will:
[re]mind gamers; help them [re]member; and encourage them to [re]experience
the sheer enjoyment of playing a beloved game.

We believe in promoting healthy gaming in our community - allowing everybody to enjoy their gaming experience free of prejudice and hate.
