📢 Public service announcement: gamescom is a work event. Women there are working, not looking for a date. If you can’t handle being around a woman without making it weird, stay home. Thanks for coming to my annual TED talk.

Women exist. Shocker. Yet every International Women’s Day the timeline fills up with “celebrate women” posts, pink branding, and companies suddenly trying to sell “things women need”.

I’m not going to GDC this year. Traveling to the US right now is a risk I am not willing to take. The current Trump administration is a racist and sexist gang of thugs, terrorizing their own people and empowering political violence.

Gamescom! Und ich schrieb dies hier für den WDR. Mit Statements vom Felix Falk vom @gameverband.bsky.social und Indie-Königin @violencia.bsky.social. Da ist an zweiter Stelle ein Audio verknüpft und jetzt überlege ich, wie ich die Stimme von dem Moderator da bekommen kann. Damn.

Die Gamescom 2025 startet in Köln - wieso es der Games-Branche gerade nicht gut geht

Die Gamescom wird der Mittelpunkt für Computerspiele-Fans. Aber der Branche hinter der Spielewelt geht es gerade nicht gut.
