Thurs 4th Feb 2021: Games Careers Week, the free online festival for inspiring people from every background to discover prospects in one of the UK’s most exciting careers, has encouraged game studios, universities and schools to submit images of diverse games developers.
Google is dominated by pictures of white male developers but the festival wants to change that asking supporters to upload pictures of diverse developers so they can change the internet’s perception of games careers.
Organisations are being asked to upload royalty-free images of diverse games developers using this form.
