A Thinking Ape

At ATA, we’re committed to building healthy, supportive work environments for our team and the entire industry. This October, we choose to prioritize well-being in the workplace, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month. Supporting mental health is not just the right thing to do—it boosts productivity, fosters creativity, and builds stronger teams. A culture of openness, empathy, and support can make all the difference. We are big fans of the work that Diversity in Games is doing to foster inclusivity and the advancement of underrepresented groups in our industry. That’s why we’re proud to sponsor the DIG Roundtable: Prioritize Mental Health in the Games Industry on October 16th from 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm PST. This event will delve into recognizing burnout, promoting mental well-being at work, and facing challenges with self-compassion. It’s a valuable opportunity to discuss the unique mental health challenges gaming professionals face and explore ways to create more balanced and resilient workplaces. Tickets are free but limited, so be sure to secure your spot today! RSVP here: https://lnkd.in/gexfkHEV #MentalHealthMatters #GameIndustry #MentalHealthAwareness #ATASponsors

🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🎉 At ATA, we're thrilled to celebrate Pride Month by reaffirming our commitment to diversity and inclusion both in our games and our workplace. 🏳️🌈 In our games, we value representation, which is why this month we introduced special events and inclusive content showcasing diversity.

Through their hard work and passion, we hope to help shape a future where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. Internally, diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental to our culture. We're proud to announce that we’ve made a $5,000 donation, chosen by our team members, to The Trevor Project, a charity that provides critical support to LGBTQ+ youth. 🌟 Additionally, we hosted an internal speaker session to educate and raise awareness about the significance of Pride month in our communities. 📚 Join us in celebrating diversity and if you're eager to participate, jump into our games! 🎮✨ Together, let's continue to create a world where everyone feels valued and respected. Happy Pride Month from all of us at ATA! 🌈💖 #PrideMonth #DiversityandInclusion #InclusiveGaming #CelebratingPride

Unfortunately, this week, ATA had to restructure leading to the departure of some incredibly talented people. A Thinking Ape is known for making massively popular mobile strategy games that requires a high talent bar to achieve. Everyone we've had to say goodbye to has been instrumental in building our successful games.  We are gathering a list of affected people who are comfortable with us sharing their names. We’d appreciate any help our game industry community can provide in finding new opportunities for these amazing people. #mobilegamedevelopment #gamescommunity
