Listen now
Description
Sam Greer is a freelance games critic, having previously worked for Glass House Games and GamesMaster magazine. More recently, she worked with People Make Games (that's us!) on an incredible video about the lack of working class people employed in the games industry. That's what we'll be talking about in today's episode. "I think when we talked about it before my worry was that the video would just be one of those things that people would retweet and go 'oh this is so important', you know?' and that would be it... But actually what's kind of happened, that I've seen a lot of, is just a lot of discussion and it sparking loads of specific conversations off the back of it. And that's more than I'd hoped for. I was so worried about people getting that this mattered, but not really caring." Support the show
