Rising Global Challenges to Game Creation<\/h1>\n

With over 27+ years of experience in games as a geographer and culturalization strategist, Kate Edwards has seen it all when it comes to geopolitical and cultural challenges that may be overlooked in game creation and can negatively impact a title\u2019s release overseas. As more governments now extend their content policies beyond their borders, we\u2019re seeing a sharp increase in content being rejected for not adhering to a single worldview. In this talk, Kate discusses what game creators can do to be better prepared for defending their creative vision against intrusive local regulations.<\/p>\n
