Game Dev vs. DEI: My Experience with DEI in the Gaming Industry

How are Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives shaping the gaming industry? As a game developer and industry insider, I've seen firsthand how DEI programs impact hiring practices, workplace culture, and the industry at large. This video was featured on Asmongold's channel.

In this video, I discuss:
•The latest GDC diversity statistics and what they reveal about gaming's workforce.
•My personal experiences with DEI programs and mandatory training.
•Why DEI might not be as merit-based as it claims.
•The growing influence of agendas over qualifications in gaming.

🚨 Important Disclaimer: The views expressed in this video are based on my personal experiences and opinions. Please do not say or do anything hateful towards any companies mentioned in the video or any individuals who work there. This is my personal experience, and my goal is to spark discussion-not to encourage any type of harassment. 🙏
