Tomorrow 4/23 I'll chat on Discord about #ethics in games on the Gamaste channel, at 8:30am PT / 5:30pm CET. This Conversession is open to all #gamedev but you first need to sign up to join the private channel: forms.gle/mTJtqpjFqPRU... I hope that you'll join us to chat about this important topic!

This is disgusting.

⚠️ Palantir released what it describes as a vision for “The Technological Republic” in which it argues AGAINST democratic and cultural pluralism and FOR militaristic supremacy enforced by a technocratic elite who produce AI weaponry. These points stand out:

Want to speak at the #GameUXsummit '26 for its 10th anniversary? The call for speakers is NOW! We value diverse perspectives so please spread the word! We hope that you'll join us in beautiful Kuala Lumpur on Oct 12-14 💕 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

No words… This is terrifying…

I’m now trying to make as much time as possible to talk to parents & students about the wonders & potential dangers of #videogames. I’m happy to come to your school or Uni to discuss #ethics & VGs (mostly in the US for now) so don’t hesitate to let me know if you’d like me to come to your school!

Bonjour à tous.tes Nous avons l'indicible douleur de vous faire part du décès de Séverine Erhel, survenu ce lundi 13 avril 2026 à Rennes. (information diffusée à la demande / avec l'autorisation de la famille)

The #gameuxsummit ‘25 videos are here and the call for speakers for the ‘26 summit in Kuala Lumpur Oct. 12-14 has started! Check it out below ☺️ #ux #gamedev

Like Parisians typically say, la Tour Montparnasse offers the best views of Paris because it’s the only place in Paris where you don’t see it.

The videos from the Game UX Summit '25 are now live! And we’re starting the call for speakers for the 2026 summit in Kuala Lumpur Oct 12-14 ☺️ m.youtube.com/watch?v=37lc... #ux #gamedev #gameuxsummit

Please? (This is all absolutely scary and devastating, stay safe everyone everywhere ❤️)

Make love and science, not war.

I am SO excited about this! 😍 (more info very soon) #GameUXsummit ‘26

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

LA friends! Come today to the Night of Ideas at Wende Museum all afternoon/eve., organized by @franceinla.bsky.social. It’s a moment for sharing about arts, science, more. Running a forum with kids + parents about VGs at 2:30pm & a talk on cognitive biases at 7:30pm. nightofideas.org/los-angeles/

We look great from afar, yes. Not so much up close…

Great reminder that humans are *also* capable of amazing things like this.

🚨🚨🚨 TODAY!!!!!

It’s definitely gloomy out here. We need solidarity more than ever.

We can achieve success on our own terms, make the games we care about while respecting players & supporting our colleagues. It shouldn’t require crushing people. Alysa Liu demonstrated beautifully at the Olympics that there’s another way possible. We can do it too. @ethicalgames.org #gamedev

So much for being “inevitable”…

Maybe the problem is not (only) that making great and sustainable games is hard, is that infinite revenue growth to satisfy shareholders is simply not possible and that greed is ultimately destroying everything? I dunno... just a thought... 💔

Good grief… that’s a lot of people impacted…

Bay area and greater Seattle folks, I'll be traveling to SF and Berkeley on April 8-12 (I'll be at the Night of Ideas in SF, talking about ethics) and then in Bellevue on April 13-?. Poke me if you have needs for #gameUX consulting (either for games or gamified products) and/or in-person training.

Google reduced our headline “I used the ‘cheat on everything’ AI tool and it didn’t help me cheat on anything” to just five words: “‘Cheat on everything’ AI tool.” It almost sounds like we’re endorsing a product we do not recommend at all. Read more from @seanhollister.bsky.social:

“Marathon's biggest weakness is in its onboarding of players.” I mean… 😬 Onboarding your players to make sure they can be competent at playing your game is really important. In my book #TheGamersBrain (new edition just came out) I describe the onboarding plan put together for Fortnite & more. #UX

The Human Authored certification mark is for authors and publishers to distinguish their human-written books from the glut of AI-generated books already saturating the marketplace. We believe that book consumers have the right to know whether a book they are reading was written by a human.

Unions band together to launch new game industry conference 'by workers, for workers'

Infinite growth isn’t desirable imho. Meaningfulness is what matters the most, & #GDC felt meaningful this year. Lots of community and solidarity vibes that were much needed. However, we did feel the absence of all the people who couldn’t make it because of wars or didn’t feel safe coming to the US.

I concur. Can’t wait to see the evolution of At Fate’s End. Such a promising game! Not surprising though, given that all the games coming out of @thunderlotusgames.com are innovative, fun, and 🤩🤩. You should give them a follow 😉

There’s only one copy of my book left at the GDC bookstore! 🤯

Did you know that there’s a bookstore at #GDC? It’s usually easy to spot & popular because people love browsing #gamedev books at a gamedev conference. But this year, it’s hidden behind the GDC merch store (North Hall ground level). So please visit the bookstore! Until 7pm today 9am-4:30pm Friday ❤️

Please share broadly please!🙏🏼 We need your feedback & your support, especially if you’re in a #gamedev leadership position to do the last tweaking of the code of #ethics and advocate for its adoption. We also need journalists to spread the news (we’re all volunteers & have no comms). Thank you!

All the more reasons for a code of ethics in the game industry. #ethics #gamedev

The new edition of #TheGamersBrain is here! You can get it online at the usual places or at your favorite bookstore. And for those at #GDC, I’m having a book signing session today (Wednesday) at the GDC bookstore (North Hall, ground level) at 3pm! I hope to see you there! 🎉🥳

Our #ethics #gamedev forum with @drkowert.bsky.social is in 30 minutes South Hall room 207! #GDC26 schedule.gdconf.com/session/deve...

It was so wonderful to hang out with the lovely game UX community today! Look at all these lovely faces 😍❤️ #GDC #UX

Wars and terrorism outrageously kill many innocent civilians or destroy their living while they typically just want to get about with their lives peacefully. But it’s beyond disgusting when they kill or injure children. What a heartbreaking and horrendous crime. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

My #gameUX & cognitive science workshop starts in 30 minutes at #GDC. See you there! West Hall Room 3002. #ux #gamedev #psychology #gdc26 schedule.gdconf.com/session/game...

It’s time! We’re kicking off the “non-UXsummit” at #GDC26 with Alexis Denancé speaking about the #ux mobile porting challenges in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown case study. #gameUX #a11y #gdc

Not sure how to approach GDC given all the horrors that are happening in the world. Spending time with the community will be very welcomed. But we can’t ignore all the gamedevs left behind, not to mention all the people struggling to simply stay alive while we’re discussing about games.

#GDC is right around the corner! You can check all #UX, #a11y, and #ethics sessions (materclasses, networking, keynotes, forums..) here: www.linkedin.com/posts/celiah... See you soon!
