Lesser Evil is an uncompromisingly anti-authoritarian, anti-racist, and pro-democracy. We publish video games with clear political or social intent and messaging. Video games are this century’s most widespread, impactful, and important cultural medium.

As works of human expression, they should be emotional and make the player feel something. That’s why we’re not afraid to create experiences based on our convictions. We believe in making statements. We aim to initiate difficult discussions, spread awareness, and take a stand. Gaming is a politically and socially conscious medium – we should never apologize for this!

Sociable Software is the developer and publisher of Sociable Soccer a leading arcade football game on PC, console and mobile.
