'Games in the Times of Adversity' speech

Was humbled to be invited to talk at Comic Con Baltics. I prepared a lecture called ‘Games in the Times of Adversity’. Blurb:
''Violence in videogames, misogyny, radicalisation in videogames... These are all valid concerns that our industry must tackle, but just for an hour here, let's celebrate all the community building and reciprocal altruism that individuals are nurturing in the space of videogames. Especially in current uncertain times, it is more important than ever to mark and encourage heroic acts of solidarity, teamwork and signals of compassion that run deeply in our imaginative digital worlds. The session will leave the listener encouraged and inspired to cherish and cultivate alliances of kindness in times of adversity.''

I don’t think the speech was recorded, but it was still very fun to have this awesome homecoming. Thanks to the team organising it!
