Activision Blizzard’s head of inclusive design on Pride, joy and acceptance in the industry 🌈 Adrian Ledda, Activision's head of inclusive game design, recently shared his insights on the importance of Pride, the process of coming out, and the happiness found in acceptance. It's inspiring to see leaders like Adrian paving the way for inclusivity and diversity in the gaming industry. As we celebrate Pride Month, let's remember that by embracing diversity and creating inclusive environments, we not only empower individuals to be their authentic selves but also propel innovation and creativity.

We recently conducted an Inclusivity survey to identify successes and areas where we can continue to make a difference. I’m blown away with our first score, 7.8 is a great starting point! I’m really looking forward to using this data to inform our EDI roadmap for the year ahead. How are you using data in the EDI space?

Happy International Games Day! 🌍🎮 We celebrate the power of games in fostering creativity, teamwork, and innovation! Whether it's a quick puzzle, a challenging strategy game, or a friendly competition among colleagues, games offer more than just fun – they teach us valuable skills like problem-solving, collaboration, and adaptability. At Trirope, we believe in the value of play, both in and out of the workplace. Games inspire us to think outside the box, push boundaries, and grow as a team. They also remind us that a little fun can go a long way in boosting morale and creating strong bonds. What’s your favorite game to unwind and connect with others?

🌈 Why diversity matters? Shouldnt be a question, but in the reality of owning a business it is not always a priority. But making a profit is. And having a top performing team! So I entered the main stage at Nordic Game to explain how a diverse team would serve both profit and performance by showing cases of what we have done and how you actually can change the the situation with small efforts. Thanks to Nordic games and Paula Fenjima Manrique at Nordic Game for making my speech a priority and letting me open up the whole conference 🙏🎊 #diveristy #inclusion #hr #gaming

Yaayyy!!! So proud to have taken part in this awesome VALORANT project at NMBRS and collaborating with the amazing team at Massive Assembly It was especially cool and fun experience for me, since I had the opportunity to take on more responsibility and animate almost every 3D shot here!! 😁 Was a challenging process to help bring this cinematic together, but the end result is really satisfying to see 😊 #animation #3danimation #animators #characteranimation

We play games, and games elevate the world. International Day of Play 🎮 highlights the crucial role of games in fostering global unity and personal development. Games are a universal language that transcends cultural, national, and socioeconomic barriers, building a sense of community and pride. Games are vital for developing physical, social, cognitive, and emotional skills. They enhance resilience, creativity, and innovative thinking, especially in children. 🕹 Games help people form relationships, cope with trauma, and solve problems, equipping them with the necessary skills to navigate an ever-changing world. The UN enshrines the right to play, recognizing our intrinsic need to engage with games. Specializing in handcrafted localization for narrative games, Riotloc transforms games into experiences that resonate across different cultures. That is our passion. ❤️ That is our mission. And it ensures that players worldwide can enjoy games in their native languages. #gamedev #gameloc #InternationalDayofPlay

Now, to be clear, I actually don't mind the personalization of ERGs to fit the company. I love seeing things like Klaviyo's KRGs (Klaviyo Resource Groups) or Riot Games' RIGs (Rioter Inclusion Groups). The name or branding of the ERGs and ERG Program name is really a form of program customization - like giving a car a new paint job. The problem comes in for many companies who've put on this elaborate paint job of BRGs thinking that that's the real work vs the engine work that needs to be done (giving the ERG program governance, equipping the ERG Leaders with best community building practices). Also the misdirection of many companies with the title BRG to focus on driving business impact in all of the wrong ways is another major beef I have with the term. Nevertheless, it's all love regardless of what you call your program. 💛 We're all fighting the same fight here. #StrongerTogether #EmployeeResourceGroups #ERG #BRG

Last week, I jumped into my first-ever Thunderdome at Riot (a 48-hour hackathon) where over 280 teams stop everything to build something amazing from scratch. I had the chance to lead a team of 10 Rioters, and honestly, I didn’t know what to expect. What I walked away with was more than just a project. It was the joy of working with people from so many different disciplines, Publishing, Game Design, Art and Engineering. We brainstormed, we struggled, we laughed, we created. In the end, our pitch hit the mark, and seeing how much the team poured into this in such a short time made it all worth it. It wasn’t just about what we built, but about the process and the people. I’m so proud of what we did together and can’t wait for the next one.

Excited to announce that I took a picture with a Riot Games sign! Riot was responsible for a good part of my professional development growing up. Here’s some vital skills I learned from Riot: League of Legends ✅ Management and teamwork with various skills and experience levels (1v9) ✅ Effective and motivating communication skills with cross functional roles (begging during champ select) Teamfight Tactics ✅Combinatorial optimization given Markovian decision processes (only tactics.tools champ selection and positioning ignoring opponents) ✅ Discrete event simulation with various factors (pray) ✅ Analyze environmental causal trends to mitigate risk given numerous predictors (contested donkey rolling for a 4th) #happymonday #riotgames #leagueoflegends #tft #OR #ML #simulation #optimization #leadership
