This is a good exploration, but I’d like to see more diversity for these articles. I’m by no means influential in the games industry, but I have gotten harassed in games not only for being a woman, but also specifically for being a Black woman.

Black women and women of color get it on two fronts
GamesIndustry.biz spoke to some of the industry's most influential women about how they've seen attitudes change over the past decade and – crucially – what steps are still needed to encourage and retain female talent.

Submissions for the A MAZE. Awards are now open. Early bird fee if you submit before end of 2025 or pay what you want "with the help of the Supporter Tickets" — not sure how that works exactly but if you're from an underrepresented group in games or can't afford the fee I would suggest writing them!
A MAZE. / Berlin 2026 - Call for works.

Not a big announcement but we want to make this clear: we have never nor will ever use generative AI.

And that goes for all kind of assets. No placeholders mid development, no presentation materials, no automated localization or voice acting replacement.
