How mobile developers are using games to help the victims of cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is a product of the digital age, so one developer is looking to fight it using its digital games.

Developer Pixelberry has an iOS and Android game called High School Story that gives players the chance to design and run their own school. In December, the studio released a new quest for the sim that deals explicitly with cyberbullying. Since then, the company has referred over 1,000 teens to professional counselors at the charity Cybersmile that helps kids who are the victims of harassment. Cybersmile is an independent organization that is working directly with Pixelberry on this issue.
