Latest episode available now, discusses the need for accountability and shares resources for those who need support
The GamesIndustry.biz editorial team gathers around their mics to discuss the biggest stories of the week.
This week, the conversation returns to reports of discrimination and harassment at AAA games firms – most notably Activision Blizzard, which is facing a lawsuit from the DFEH, but also Ubisoft following the latest report of toxic elements within one of its studios.

During the discussion, we recommend several resources for those in the industry who need a safe space or support, as well as information for companies and recruiters that may help resolve these issues in the long term. All of these can be found below:
