Independent Games Festival begins with guilt to support Devs

Sean Pierre, President Independent Games FestivalThe Independent Games Festival Awards opened with an appeal to support gaming developers.

Pierre had some heartfelt words to the public, which was severely struck by the demobilization of workers, the closure of the studio and other ills that made life difficult for game developers recently.

“I am sure that many of us have been overwhelmed by a lot. Last year, many people on the stage talked about how unfairly our peers dealt.” Frankly, regardless of the amount that may have improved, it should improve, “Pierre said. “The struggle for fairness, for responsibility, is about treating people as people, not as numbers, is something that must continue.”

He said that the struggles faced by independent developers from discovery to financing are at all, and it is difficult to think about the horizon.

Pierre said: “But watching all of you works every day, whether it is full, part -time, or between other applications, and watching them pays the boundaries of the game industry, watching ideas linking the world around us, and watching every person trying to contact each other. This is not less than inspiring.”

“I personally think that he is really communicating with each other through games, we need to look at what we see on our screens and look at the talented people who put their time, effort, hopes, dreams, victories, or deepest ideas in experiences such as those that you see here tonight,” he said. “We need to look at individuals, listen to their voices, and most importantly, everyone’s support in their pursuit of prosperity in this society.”

He said that the game industry has an incredibly varied variety of people and experiences in the global independent gaming community.

“We have a responsibility for caring for women,” Pierre said. “So, support the games created by your friends and those made by black and eggs. Supporting games provided by transgender people. Supporting the games by Queer People and the stranger from the other side of the planet. Support your friends.”

He added: “Support your friends who you see once a year at GDC. But also listen to the voices of those who cannot attend this year’s conference for fear of their safety.” He said by supporting all these things and these sounds we can really link the world and each other through the art of video games.
