This panel invites you to a thought-provoking discussion centered on a pivotal question: What if we integrated safety directly into game platform design, rather than addressing toxicity and abuse as afterthoughts? Our panelists, each offering distinct insights, will delve into the potential of game platforms rooted in safety-first principles. We'll explore how platforms, when equipped with features intentionally designed to prevent abuse, help in enhancing player satisfaction and boosting player retention and engagement.
