We launched our 2-year Workplace Culture Study at gamescom latam this spring 🇧🇷 Next up: devcom Developer Conference 🇩🇪 and gamescom asia 🇹🇭 Independent, international, Not-For-Profit - because silence protects the wrong systems. #DEI #GamesIndustry #elsewhereNFP #WorkPlaceCulture

Two women sit on a stage in conversation during a Gamescom LATAM panel. Behind them is a large screen showing the title “The Global Workplace Culture Study (2025–2027)” with a world map and timeline points for Brazil (May 2025), Germany (August 2025), and Thailand (October 2025). One speaker has pink hair and wears a patterned outfit; the other wears a green dress and denim jacket.

elsewhere has landed in Brazil! We’re in São Paulo until May 3 to kick off the first leg of our Global Workplace Culture Study. Get in touch if you’re around – we’re meeting studios, gathering stories, and soaking in all the vibes. #elsewhereNFP #GameDevCulture #InclusiveWorkplaces #GlobalResearch

Two smiling women standing close together outdoors in front of lush green vegetation and a pond with water lilies. One has bright pink hair and wears a black t-shirt; the other has curly blonde hair and wears a patterned shirt over a black crop top. They look relaxed and happy.

🚨 Equal Pay Day Reminder: Women in games still earn 26% less than men. Some top studios report gaps over 30% - it’s time for real change. Fair pay = better games, stronger teams. Let’s push for transparency. #EqualPayDay #WomenInGames #FairPay #DEI #PayTransparency #GameDev #IndieDev #GamesIndustry

A side-by-side comparison meme featuring two images. On the left is a well-groomed and smiling Jennifer Aniston, with the caption: “BEFORE KNOWING THE GENDER PAY GAP IN GAMING.” On the right is a tired-looking Iggy Pop with long, unkempt hair, with the caption: “AFTER REALIZING IT’S 26%.” The meme humorously exaggerates the shock and exhaustion of learning about the gender pay gap in the gaming industry.

Per #GDC State of the Industry Report, the games industry’s mass layoffs aren’t just an economic crisis, they’re a DEI crisis too. Marginalized devs are disproportionately affected, while #DEI roles are the first to go. How do we stop this backslide? #GamesIndustry #Layoffs #gamedev #indiedev

A two-panel comic from the “This is Fine” meme. In the first panel, a cartoon dog wearing a small hat sits at a table in a room engulfed in flames, looking calm. The text above reads: “Games industry: ‘We value DEI and diverse talent!’”

In the second panel, the dog continues to sit in the burning room, now with a blank expression. A speech bubble above him says “This is fine.” Below, additional text reads: “Execs lay off DEI teams first & disproportionately fire marginalized devs”

The meme highlights the hypocrisy of the game industry claiming to support diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) while simultaneously laying off DEI teams and disproportionately affecting marginalized developers.

🚀 Another key takeaway from the #GDC State of the Industry Report: Unionization in gaming is gaining momentum. With 58% of #gamedevs now supporting unions, the conversation around job security, fair pay & worker rights is growing fast. Is this the solution the industry needs? #Unionization #DEI

A popular “Distracted Boyfriend” meme format. The image shows a man (labeled “GAME DEVS”) turning his head to look at a woman in a red dress (labeled “UNIONIZATION”) with admiration while his current partner (labeled “CRUNCH CULTURE, LAYOFFS, LOW PAY”) looks at him angrily. The meme humorously suggests that game developers are increasingly interested in unionization as an alternative to exploitative industry practices such as crunch culture, layoffs, and low wages.

A meme featuring a scene from “The Office” with Michael Scott (played by Steve Carell) in a state of panic, running through an office. The top text reads: “LAUNCHING OUR FIRST-EVER GLOBAL WORKPLACE CULTURE STUDY.” Below, a subtitle from the show says: “Oh my god, okay it’s happening, everybody stay calm.”

Is #GenerativeAI a game-changer for DEI or a threat? 🤖 51% of devs worry about bias, job loss & transparency issues in AI ( #GDC Report). But #AI can drive inclusion if used responsibly: ✅ Diverse datasets ✅ Localized content ✅ Empowering marginalized creators What’s your take? #Gamedev #DEI

A meme featuring two panels with Drake from the music video for “Hotline Bling”. In the top panel, Drake is rejecting “Unregulated AI reinforcing stereotypes”, and in the bottom panel, he is approving “AI designed with DEI in mind”. The meme uses the popular “Drakeposting” format.

This February, we're kicking off a new tradition: breaking down key insights from the #GDC State of the Industry Report! 🎮 First up: #Diversity in gaming is growing: 32% of devs are women/non-binary, LGBTQIA+ representation is rising. Progress worth protecting! #DiversityInGames #gamedev #DEI

A meme featuring a scene from the movie “Zoolander” with the characters Mugatu and Katinka. Mugatu, holding a small dog, is excitedly shouting “DIVERSITY IN GAMING”, while Katinka looks unimpressed. The caption reads, “SO HOT RIGHT NOW.“

Overwhelmed by distressing news? It’s okay to pause🌟 Take care of your mental health: ➡️ Set boundaries with news. ➡️ Lean on your community. ➡️ Take action, but allow yourself to recharge. You’re not alone. 💛 Resources: WHO: lnkd.in/dn5fJxF APA: lnkd.in/gVt6A6AB #MentalHealthMatters #SaferSpaces

On the left, a dramatic scene from ‘The Real Housewives’ shows a woman yelling and pointing aggressively, with the text overlay: ‘STAY INFORMED! READ EVERYTHING! DON’T IGNORE THE NEWS!’ On the right, a white cat sits at a dining table with a disinterested expression, in front of a plate of salad, with the text overlay: ‘BUT MY MENTAL HEALTH IS ALREADY FRIED.’ The meme humorously highlights the tension between staying informed and preserving mental well-being.

Inclusivity is under attack, but we’re stepping up. At elsewhere, we’re launching surveys, partnering with organisations, & empowering the games industry with insights to create safer, more inclusive spaces. The work starts now - join us in making a difference! #DEI #diversity #gamesindustry

A muscular and confident SpongeBob stands on a sandy beach, wearing a determined expression and flexing his arms. The top text reads, ‘When the DEI policies are gone, but we’ve got data, insights, and determination.’ The bottom text reads, ‘Elsewhere is here to make a difference.’ The meme humorously conveys resilience and strength in the face of challenges.
