Title: Less Uniform Than You Might Think: A Brief Discussion of Diversity and Inclusion in Video Games
Abstract
Over the years, video games have grown from being for just an exclusive few to being accessible to
almost anyone. The video gaming community is often still thought of as primarily young white males, but
this is no longer true. In this work, we will discuss some of the early history of diversity and inclusion in
video games, including some pivotal moments thereof. We will then cover a couple of techniques used for
increasing inclusion in video games, and end with some eye-opening statistics about the composition of
the gaming community.
