Dovetail Games’ values include “Enhanced Life”, a value and guiding principle. Dovetail Games states: “Our aim is to make software that enhances life. We don’t make games that are addictive, promote gambling, glorify violence or are discriminatory in any way. We would rather celebrate the human condition than devalue it.”
