How do you tackle toxic behaviour in gaming?
Will a Good Game Playbook reduce cases of abuse and harassment in gaming?
Online multiplayer can be a toxic environment, especially for female players and people of colour. There are criticisms that not enough is being done by the gaming companies to address the abuse that some people face on a daily basis.
Now the developer behind Assassin鈥檚 Creed, Ubisoft, has brought out a 鈥淕ood Game Playbook鈥� to send to some of its players reported for harassment. But will people read it? We speak to two 麻豆社 reporters; Andrew Rogers, who鈥檚 been speaking to the gaming companies, and Laura Cress who describes her experiences of toxicity in gaming.
Also, as the 麻豆社 World Service launches an emergency lifeline radio service for people in Gaza, Hannah speaks to one of the team behind it.
