The DeanBeat: How the game industry can get better at diversity and inclusion

The game industry isn’t as inclusive or diverse or inclusive as it could be. But people are working on it. A group of them spoke on a panel at the recent Gamelab game event in Barcelona in June.

Rami Ismail, cofounder of Vlambeer and a frequent advocate for diversity and indie games, moderated the panel. The panelists included voice actress Sarah Elmaleh (Anthem, Gone Home); Kate Edwards, former executive director of the International Game Developers Association and founder of Geogrify; Myiriame Lachapelle, co-producer of GameDev.World and union activist; and Katie Scott, senior game designer at Electronic Arts.
