This years Game Changers is now complete, profiling dozens of the groups and individuals who are working hard to make the games industry a more diverse and welcoming place.
Over the past two weeks, weve been running these profiles in batches. Now we can present the full list of this years celebrants in one place.
Our 2021 Game Changers include diversity heads, mentors, researchers, educators, investors, lawyers, scholars, influencers, accessibility advocates, supportive communities for various marginalised groups, networking events, workers alliances, environmentally-minded developers, and more.
As with last year, weve tried to cover as much of the full breadth of the games industry as possible, so in addition to the usual Western territories like the US and UK, youll find folks from as far afield as Africa, Australia, Argentina, India, Singapore and Japan.
Below youll find links to each of the ten articles where the profiles can be found, along with links to each of our individual Game Changers.
A huge thank you to everyone who nominated folks for this years list, and to those who helped connect us with the chosen Game Changers.
Thanks also to freelancers Alan Wen and Vikki Blake for their assistance writing up the profiles.
And the biggest thank you -- and congratulations -- to the Game Changers themselves -- not only for sending in responses for this years profiles, but for the ongoing work youre all doing to make the games industry a better place.
