Ok, can we talk about #ethics, “anti #darkpatterns” (aka #UX), & child protection NOW instead of waiting for issues to happen?

Everyone in #gamedev needs to watch this video. If we don't care about the outsourcing labor conditions, we are part of the problem. Another thing to add to https://t.co/bawHJwTh6g... So much to do to raise the #ethics bar in our industry...
Coincidentally, our panel (with @geogrify@lolkat @Online_Citizen) at @G4C about #ethics in #gamedev and the https://t.co/bawHJwTh6g initiative announcement is now on youtube https://t.co/M5dLo0b70b
@LapollaMatthew@WY_Tang Were your findings published in a peer-reviewed journal? If so, could you please send us the pdf? Lastly, please don't hesitate to give your input by filling the form on https://t.co/9Fv9TDufpU. Thanks!
@WY_Tang@LapollaMatthew Congrats, Matt! What's your thesis about? We're currently gathering research on disruptive behavior, inclusion, dark patterns, etc. in order to propose evidence-based guidelines to improve ethics in games.
To sum up: we have a lot of work ahead of us. We want to start by identifying academics to lead the way (to make it as evidence-based & unbiased as possible), putting together a steering committee, then organizing the work & digesting everyone's feedback. Next update ~late Sept🙂
Hey we're talking about "Addressing Ethics & Content Responsibility as Game Developers" today at 10am PT for #GDCSummer. We'd like to practically define what ethical responsibility looks like in the industry @ https://t.co/faBK2bp8Sf

@DavidLibeau Hi David, thanks for your feedback. We are just a few volunteers kicking off this initiative, not an org or a company. So we are using the free but flawed tools at our disposal to communicate and gather feedback. Which illustrates to the need for better ethics with platforms ;).
Today at 1pm PT we are recording our #ethics in #gamedev panel for #GDC summer. If you have questions for us regarding this initiative, please reply to this tweet so we can address your question during the recording. Thx!

Thanks everyone for your interest! We already received a lot of feedback & need time to digest it (+ get back to you if you gave us your info). Thanks for your patience!
Reiterating that this is just a 1st draft, not the final code. That's why it needs work, with your help. 😉
