About
Profit-Seed is a social activist game that explores the misuse of intellectual property laws by large companies as a means of taking over small farms across the United States and the world. In particular, the game explores issues pertaining to genetically modified seeds and crops, including how inadvertent use such as cross-pollination, seed transfer, and other means have left small farmers vulnerable for legal action.
