In the final episode of The Upside of Gaming series, I had the incredible opportunity to speak with none other than Deborah Mensah-Bonsu about the social impact of video games. Deborah has led and contributed to a wide range of initiatives that use the power of games for social good.
We talk about her work on Green Game Jam, Playing for the Planet, in-game campaigns, and many more!
What stood out most is how game developers are actively empowering players to make a difference and encouraging real-world action through in-game experiences.
