Linda Carlson: Responsibilities, Expectations and Evolution of Game Community Moderation

The excitement and chaos are bustling at Gamescom 2019, but we’ve managed to find a quiet(ish) place to chat and chink steins with industry veteran and Community Wizard 🧙‍♂️-or rather dwarf 😋 - Linda ‘Brasse’ Carlson. Gather round as we talk about her journey into a creative and colourful career of 20-plus years, the evolution and state of the games industry as it continues to struggle with ageism and sexism, and breakdown of the roles and responsibilities within community management, moderation and support.
