The Two-Sides Debate · Thinking Canvas

Should publishers be forced to preserve games?

Before you decide, you need to hold both sides equally — explore the strongest arguments for and against legal protection for games.

State the question

Write the debate question in your own words in one line. What is really at stake here — money, rights, or something else?

Arguments FOR protection

List three reasons why governments should force publishers to preserve games when they shut them down.

Arguments AGAINST

List three reasons why publishers should be free to shut down games without legal obligation.

Your instinctive position

Mark honestly where you stand right now — before you stress-test anything.

Publishers should be totally free

Governments must fully regulate

The strongest counter-point

Look at the side you did NOT lean towards in step 4. Write the single most powerful argument from that side — the one that genuinely challenges your position.

Your answer to it

How would you respond to the point you wrote in step 5? Does your step 4 position still hold, or has it shifted? Explain in two sentences.

Your verdict

Write one word that captures where you have landed — and one sentence explaining which side surprised you most and why.

Why that word?
