In case you missed it: Check out the talk given by Neil Alex Long, our Senior Director for Player Support, in collaboration with Sky Tunley-Stainton from Safe In Our World, at the IndieGameBusiness® summit last week! 💡  The talk covered the basics of #OnlineSafety for game communities, from why we need it, to who is responsible for it, and the importance of having the right tools for dealing with toxicity and difficult situations for your frontline teams. We also share some tips for game studios who are looking to build out better resources and training to help protect their teams and players.

🎮 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗩𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆! 🎮 We’ve always prided ourselves on being a team of passionate gamers, first and foremost. It’s at the core of our identity and our roots in Japan from 1994, 30 years ago, where we started off as Japan’s first video game testing company. To celebrate this day, we’re looking back at that year to reminisce on what else happened in the game industry... As it turns out: quite a lot! From the first ever PlayStation console launching in Japan, to the first entries in the Elder Scrolls and Warcraft series… check out our full compilation below. And let us know if you're feeling nostalgic for this era in games, too! ✨📺🕹️ #NationalVideoGamesDay #VideoGames #1990s #RetroGaming #PTW30Years #PTWFamily #SIDE #1518Studios #Ghostpunch
