GamesBeat held its eighth Women in Gaming Breakfast, presented by Xsolla, at this year’s GamesBeat Summit event, where a panel of professionals spoke about an issue concerning the games industry.
This year, our four professionals — I was moderating — spoke about the positive changes that games are bringing to the world and the capacity for games to spread joy. The talk also shed light on gaming communities and how gaming’s influence is spreading to adjacent industries. (Check out our GamesBeat Next 2024 event on October 28-29 in San Francisco).
Our panelists were Susanna Pollack, the president of Games for Change; Jen Premisler, SVP, Global Digital and Fintech Commercialization at MasterCard; Karla Reyes, the founder and studio director at Anima Interactive; and Bryna Dabby Smith, CEO of Brass Lion Entertainment. All four panelists spoke about positive aspects of the industry from their different perspectives, and the consensus was that games offered a communal storytelling experience that can’t be found in any other industry.
Premisler noted that her company, MasterCard, is not a games-first company, but that her interactions with the gaming sphere had always been welcoming and friendly. “The gaming community brings one really novel skillset and capability in the storytelling, and in connecting communities of all ages, all genders, all backgrounds and ethnicities and is inclusive to all in a way that a lot of other industries don’t naturally… We might be corporate, but we also have those same values.”
