The Independent Games Festival opened on a sober note in recognition of layoffs in the game industry.
Shawn Pierre, chairperson of the Independent Games Festival, expressed his concerns about the lack of respect for talented game developers at the awards event for the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. Pierre received applause from the audience after emphasizing the need for better treatment of industry professionals.
Pierre stressed the negative impact of overwork, lack of recognition, and systematic pushouts in the game industry, highlighting the need for change to create a more sustainable and respectful work environment.
In contrast to other events that overlooked industry challenges, Pierre’s speech focused on unity, celebration, and mutual respect within the gaming community. He called for a collective effort to uplift each other and demand better treatment in the industry.
