The Number One Educational Resource for the Game Industry
-
Overview:
-
The gaming industry's evolution from products to platforms has fundamentally transformed player safety expectations, yet current "safety by design" approaches often miss the mark. Recent research reveals a sophisticated paradox: players simultaneously demand high autonomy and extensive oversight from leaders, prioritizing safety over privacy. This challenges the long-held assumption that gaming communities prefer independence over intervention. nnThis panel examines how player expectations align with current industry safety approaches through the Trust & Safety Triforce framework: Policy, Tooling, and Education. It draws on real-world implementation examples, including evolving community standards, player verification and trust tiers, large-scale voice moderation, and moderator training programs. Attendees learn practical lessons tested across Discord, Call of Duty, Minecraft, and more to design safety systems that protect players without undermining their autonomy.
